Role
Cashier / teller
The hiring challenge
Handles cash and customer data all day. It is hard to observe before the interview how consistently they follow the rules and how honest they are with handling money, plus how calm they stay with the public.
What to assess
Integrity controls and self-control, sustained attention to detail and customer orientation. It is worth gathering a comparable signal of these three dimensions before sitting down to talk.
