Key job tasks

· Contact providers, verbal and in writing, to resolve check-related issues.

Performance measurement
The Midtown Group measures performance in a number of ways, with the key ones being:
- Quality Assurance assessments: may have their calls monitored and assessed at any time during a shift. We and our partner monitor and assess our CSRs regularly. CSRs are expected to maintain or exceed a QA pass rate of 90% . Calls are considered to have failed if a CSR misses or incorrectly performs any critical element of the job. These items are well-covered in training and reinforced during pre-shift and individual coaching sessions.
- Call handling metrics are a good measure of performance and the three focus areas are:
- Percent of your shift that you are either on a call or available to take a call.
- Length of call. We are here to provide efficient, professional assistance, so a consistent track record of very long or very short calls is generally frowned upon.
- Percent of calls that you transfer. This often indicates that a CSR is unable or unwilling to assist callers.
- Attendance
Minimum requirements
· High School Diploma or equivalent, 2-year post-high school Degree, or bachelor’s degree.
