14. What is your process for hiring maintenance work? What do you look for in a company, cheapest price or higher rated service?
How to Answer
The Community Association Manager is responsible for managing all aspects of maintenance and therefore hires maintenance companies to provide this service. The interviewer wants to know what criteria you use for hiring contractors.
1st Answer Example
"When hiring contractors for maintenance, I always get quotes from several companies to compare the services provided and cost. Using this information along with reviews, I'm able to select a maintenance provider that best meets our needs and fits our budget."
2nd Answer Example
"I'm a strong believer that you get what you pay for so I never choose a company simply because they have the cheapest prices. I do my research on a company and choose the one that has the best standing in the community."
