Are you doing all that you can to sort the wheat from the chaff?

How do you identify potential employees for service and associate-level sales that will show the characteristics necessary for success in these positions?

Warm bodies are not enough – turnover is too costly. More important, every customer interaction with your company helps or hurts your reputation.

Who will be reliable and treat your clients, customers and patients with courtesy and friendliness?

One of the pre-employment assessments that really works for this particular set of job positions is called Select.

Select measures key dimensions of the service personality – the information you need to know: positive service attitude, energy level, frustration tolerance, multitasking, diversity, accommodation to others, integrity and other dimensions important to success in a given job. It produces a predictive score including a 3 to 8 page report with a structured interview and specific questions based on the candidate’s score.

Validated templates are included for specific job. For example, the Call Center template has validated questions specific to inbound and outbound sales as well as inbound service.

Modules are included for customer service, personal services, production and distribution, hospitality, administrative support and call center positions. Specialized versions for the health care industry, retail sales and sales management are also available.

Easy to customize and validate for your organization, some of the situation-specific dimensions that could be assessed include: multitasking, attention to detail, self-reliance, task focus, interpersonal insight, criticism tolerance, social comfort, empathy, and so on. Benchmarked dimensions of a particular position may include:

• Integrity
