Psychological Testing
We employ scientific methods to evaluate our employees and partners' agents.
Step 1: Questionnaire
We ask all our employees and partners' agents to fill out a questionnaire. Questionnaires differ according to the profile we are looking for; Outbound agent/Inbound agent/ Supervisor/ Coach/ Quality Assurance supervisor, etc.
This questionnaire is an aptitude test; a scientific tool designed to assess human potential for numerous applications.
Since 80% of an individual's professional success depends on his or her personal skills, it is essential to assess more than the individual's educational and work experience. Our testing therefore assesses personality, behavior, and environmental factors (e.g. health and wellness).
To properly appraise an employee, their interaction style, technical orientation, entrepreneurship, motivation and leadership must be closely analyzed. Our analysis is followed up with recommendations to conduct face-to-face interviews, designing appropriate integration plans or adapting training programs.
Step 2: Face-to-face interview:
The interview focuses on learning more about each candidate:
- Skills, abilities, and backgrounds;
- Techniques and approaches;
- Conflict resolution skills;
- Salesmanship;
- Expectations;
- The qualities they think a good sales agent should have;
- Personal goals and ambitions;
During group interview exercises, interviewers might closely observe, eavesdrop, ask and elicit questions, take notes, and maybe even interject a twist or two. The skills measured during these exercises include: Interpersonal, persuasion, communication, teamwork, leadership, organization, stress management, improvisation and planning.
Step 3: Task assignment:
Outbound agents:
- Attitude: Polite, professional, confident, reassuring, convincing, patient. inquisitive, energetic, enthusiastic, excellent listening skills;
