Role

Store cashier

The hiring challenge

Handles money and payment methods in front of the public all day long; an interview doesn't show whether the person keeps honesty when balancing the till or patience with the customer when there's a line and pressure.

What to assess

Integrity in handling cash, customer orientation, self-control under pressure and basic handling of numbers.

How we build the mix

1 · The weight is on attitude

In this role the central filter is not the cognitive side, but disposition, the way people relate and self-control. The mix is built by prioritizing the role's competencies.

2 · 6 to 8 role competencies

Related competencies confirm that this capable person can perform the specific functions of the role well, not just reason in the abstract.

3 · Technical or DISC

A technical assessment (your own or digitized) verifies they can use the tools of the role. Or, as an alternative, DISC to learn the behavioral profile for the role.
