Customer Service Aptitude Profile (CSAP)

Measures traits critical to success in customer service occupations.

The Customer Service Aptitude Profile is a revision of the original, 1995 CSAP and measures key competencies that can lead to employee success in customer service positions. The CSAP can help organisations identify the best people for their customer service roles while also helping individuals reach their potential. When used as part of a comprehensive selection process, the CSAP can help minimise the cost of training resources and lost customers associated with poor hiring decisions. When used for employee development, the CSAP can help identify strengths and opportunities for development in customer service-related competencies to help employees leverage their strengths and increase the likelihood of success in their role.
