What is a customer service test?
As spokespeople for the brand or business they represent, customer service employees are required to have strong communication and interpersonal skills. They also need the ability to learn quickly and keep calm under pressure.
The test assesses how competent candidates are at interacting with customers. It looks at how well they can respond to challenging queries, their language and attitude, and how able they are to improve customer satisfaction and act as a company ambassador.
The questions are based on common workplace scenarios to give employers a better understanding of how a candidate reacts under pressures they're likely to experience.
As technology advances, the need for customer service roles has increased (along with customer expectations), which is why filling customer service roles with the right people is so important.
About the Customer Service Test
Customer service roles can be hard to recruit for. Although a certain proficiency in reading, writing and even mathematics might be important, it's often skills that are harder to judge from a resume that are an indication of whether a candidate will excel in a customer service role.
By using the customer service test, recruiters get the opportunity to dig a little deeper and find out whether applicants have the necessary skills for a customer-facing role.
Why should you use a customer service test for recruiting?
When recruiting, you'll often receive numerous resumes that are similar in terms of people's education and experience. That's where testing comes in. It can help you to find out more about how a candidate is likely to react in certain situations, and how well they deal with pressure.
When used in conjunction with a resume and an interview, the customer service test can help to give recruiters a well rounded picture of any candidates they may be interested in.
This helps to save both time and money in the long run too, as it makes it more likely that you'll hire the right person or people.
A customer service test could be used to recruit for any of the following roles:
- Customer Service Personnel
- Customer Service Manager
- On-site and in-office staff in customer-facing roles
- Cashier
- Travel Agent

How our test assesses customer service skills
Candidates will need to answer a range of questions that measure industry-specific soft skills where applicable (e.g. interpersonal skills), aptitude (e.g. verbal reasoning) and relevant personality dimensions (e.g. empathy). The results present a holistic view of how well suited each candidate is for the job at hand, using a data-driven approach.
The format varies by type of question, including multiple-choice for aptitude and technical skills, situational judgement for soft skills and agreement on a Likert scale for the personality dimensions. This approach ensures candidates are being assessed in an accurate and fair manner, and that results reflect the true underlying qualities of each candidate.
The characteristics, abilities and knowledge necessary to work in customer service were identified using the US Department of Labor's comprehensive O*NET database. O*NET is the leading source of occupational information that is constantly updated by collecting data from employees in specific job roles.
During the development process, test questions were rigorously analysed to maximise reliability and validity in line with industry best practices. They were created by our team of I/O psychologists and psychometricians – who collaborated with subject-matter-experts – and field-tested with a representative sample of job applicants who have varying experience, just like you might find in a talent pool.
Each test is reviewed by a panel of individuals representing diverse backgrounds to check for any sensitivity, fairness, face validity and accessibility issues. This ensures each candidate has a fair chance of demonstrating their true level of expertise.
Our customer service test is monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and optimised for performance.

As well as a personable nature, it's vital that you're able to communicate effectively and can remain polite, calm and collected, even in stressful situations.
Customer service employees act as ambassadors for the company they represent, so it's important that candidates believe in their company's values and ethos.
- When in the application process is it best to use a customer service test?
