Your Teller Turnover Could be Costing You Millions

How Banks and Credit Unions Can Dramatically Reduce Teller Turnover

  • the first point of contact with your customers  

  • instrumental in your customers’ satisfaction  

  • the bookkeepers of daily transactions  

  • your trusted handlers of currency

How do you decrease turnover costs? Pre-employment tests are a cost effective and reliable way to improve the quality of hire and reduce turnover. 

Recommended Assessments for Bank Tellers 

We recommend two tests to evaluate prospective tellers: 

  • The Criteria Basic Skills Test (CBST) measures basic job readiness skills such as verbal and math ability, communication, and attention to detail. 

  • The Employee Personality Profile (EPP) analyzes twelve behavioral traits that influence job fit, and includes a custom benchmark for tellers. 

Case Study 

One bank that incorporated Criteria's skills test into its hiring process saw that of tellers who passed the test, 96% were good hires, compared to only 58% of those who did not pass the test. 

 

So Why Criteria? 

  • User-friendly score reports 

  • Validated tests backed by science 

  • Dedicated Account Managers 

 

Criteria’s goal is simple. We want to help you hire successful tellers that make great customer experiences.  

Banks and credit unions who incorporate Criteria’s pre-employment tests into the hiring process typically experience turnover reductions of 20-50%.
