What gets scored in every session
Specific, sentence-level feedback.
| Dimension | What it measures | How to answer |
|---|---|---|
| Empathy Signal | Do you acknowledge the customer's emotional state before attempting resolution? We detect whether empathy is genuine or formulaic. | Emotional acknowledgment before solution steps |
| Escalation Judgment | Did you know when to escalate versus own the resolution, and can you explain why? We score the quality of that judgment. | Decision rationale, personal ownership duration |
| Resolution Clarity | 'Resolved the issue' tells us nothing. We flag answers without a clear before/after customer state and a specific outcome. | What changed, customer response, follow-up |
| Retention Outcome | Did the customer stay, return, or express satisfaction? We look for a downstream signal that the resolution had a real effect. | CSAT signal, retention event, positive follow-up |
How a session works
Step 1: Get your Fiserv Customer Service question
You are assigned questions based on where candidates for this role typically struggle most. Each session starts fresh with a new question targeting a different evaluation dimension.
Step 2: Answer by voice
Speak your answer as you would in a real interview. The AI listens for STAR structure and evaluation dimension signals in real time as you speak.
Step 3: Get scored dimension by dimension
Instant scores across all four rubric dimensions. Each gets a score, a flagged weakness, and a specific sentence-level fix, not 'be more specific' but which sentence to rewrite and why.
Step 4: Re-answer and track improvement
Revise based on feedback and answer again. See the before/after score change. Your weakness profile updates across sessions so practice becomes more targeted over time.
