Warehouse Manager Interview Questions for Hiring Managers

Updated: May 16

Welcome to the seventh edition of Hiring Manager Insights.

Get ready to access practical intelligence that will ease your candidate hiring journey.  My goal is to provide you with useful tips and strategies learned over the past 16 years to help simplify your hiring process.


Today we will explore the top ten questions to ask an Inventory Warehouse Manager during an interview:


  1. How do you handle discrepancies between physical inventory counts and recorded inventory levels?

  2. Can you discuss a time when you had to manage inventory during a period of rapid growth or expansion?

  3. What key performance indicators (KPIs) do you use to evaluate inventory management effectiveness?

  4. How do you approach forecasting demand and adjusting inventory levels accordingly?

  5. Describe your experience with inventory reconciliation and cycle counting processes.

  6. Can you provide an example of a time when you had to implement changes to improve inventory accuracy or efficiency?

  7. How do you ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards in inventory management?

  8. Tell me about a situation where you had to address issues related to inventory shrinkage or loss prevention.

  9. Can you discuss your experience with inventory forecasting models and their effectiveness?

  10. How do you handle surplus or obsolete inventory?


Inventory supervisors need to adapt to changing market conditions, demand fluctuations, and supply chain disruptions. Ask candidates how they've responded to unexpected challenges in their previous roles and how they've adjusted their strategies and processes to address changing business needs.

Let me know if you have an interview coming up for a different role and would like a separate list of questions customized to the role you have open.
