Collections Fit Index®
Overview
The Collections Fit Index® is part of the Call Center Fit Index suite of web-based assessments. The CFI is designed to
reduce voluntary employee turnover in collections call centers. The CFI measures applicants' job compatibility by
identifying their tolerance for work-related activities and environmental characteristics. The CFI also collects information

tolerance and interpersonal style, CFI identifies applicants who can:
- Function well in stressful situations

Administration
CFI's web-based format alleviates many of the administrative duties normally associated with testing. The test
administrator simply enters a user name and password to begin testing. The CFI then leads applicants through each
step of the testing process. The assessment takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. Following the assessment, the
system provides immediate access to test results through a secure website. These results vary in their level of
detail, but all classify applicants into one of three categories: low turnover risk, marginal turnover risk, and
high turnover risk.
