Customer Service Manager interview questions

Your high-quality candidate will have a positive team impact, understand how to create the right docs and reports, and be a super supportive influence on their teams. They could even be an existing member of your team who sparkles above the rest. ✨

Top tips: 

• Gauge their experience: Take notice of candidates’ customer and product know-how, and their customer service support processes. They should also provide concrete examples of their coaching and motivation experience. 
• Note their questions: Listen for smart, spontaneous questions about your company, products, and existing support team. The best candidates will also have suggestions for improvement.
• Think diversity: Diversity is key for a thriving workplace. Keep an eye out for management and exec-level candidates from varying backgrounds and aim to eliminate bias from your hiring process.
