The Hidden Risk Lurking in Your Vendor Relationships (And How to Fix It)

Most supply chain teams obsess over vendor onboarding - vetting suppliers, negotiating contracts, setting up systems. But there's a critical blind spot costing companies millions: what happens after you stop working with a vendor?

SCOPE Recruiting Co-Founder Friddy Hoegener and co-host Evan Cave discuss the often-overlooked vendor offboarding process with Tiffany Bray, Independent Consultant at Risk Right LLC.

What We Discuss:

00:00 Why "out of sight, out of mind" vendor relationships create massive data security exposure

01:36 Real examples of what happens when offboarding goes wrong (hint: it's not just about data)

02:42 Why you need a business continuity plan for critical vendors (and what happens when you don't)

03:39 What COVID taught us about single-source vendor dependency

04:44 Why many industries are dangerously immature when it comes to risk management

05:22 How to turn your risk management into a competitive advantage and sales tool

About Procurement Pulse: Real conversations with supply chain and procurement professionals who've been on both sides—building teams, solving problems, and staying ahead of what's coming next.

About SCOPE Recruiting: SCOPE Recruiting is a boutique supply chain recruiting firm where every recruiter is a former supply chain professional. Co-founders Friddy and Melissa, both ex-ABB global category managers, built the company after seeing how many “generalist” recruiters didn’t truly understand supply chain, procurement, or logistics roles.

By hiring professionals first and teaching them recruiting second, SCOPE delivers better matches, higher retention rates, and faster hiring results across manufacturing, procurement, logistics, and supply chain leadership.
