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 regarding applicants' interpersonal style to determine their "fit" for the call center agent job. By measuring work tolerance and interpersonal style, CFI identifies applicants who can:

  • Function well in stressful situations
  • Demonstrate an appropriate level of patience
  • Work in changing situations
  • Accept criticism
  • Demonstrate assertiveness
  • Build rapport with customers
  • Handle upset customers
  • Demonstrate empathy

Work Tolerance Characteristics Measured

  • Attention to Detail
  • Working Under Time Pressure
  • Being Monitored by Others

  • Problem Solving
  • Using Electronic Equipment

Interpersonal Style Characteristics Measured

  • Conscientiousness
  • Emotionality
  • Ambition
  • Extraversion

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.
