When we are selecting the applicants for the  future customer-facing employees, experience and technical skills aren’t the most important considerations. Rather, what we need to be look for , the employee personality traits that will allow a future employee to be succeed in providing great customer service.

1. Simple human kindness.

2.The ability to sense what another person is feeling.

3.An inclination toward working together, as opposed to doing things alone.

4.Detail orientation, including an ability and willingness to follow through to completion.

5.The ability to bounce back and to not internalize challenges.

I think we shouldnt advertise the Customer Service positions on the moon since all great Customer Service employees live on the earth. I would recommend go as usual, ask questions, delibrate on the questions if the potential candidate satisfies you (HR Officer) then s/he can also satisfy the customer.

Firstly, get people who really like people and feel joy in communicating with others. Secondly, see the willingness to adapt and learn new technologies/products. Thirdly, willingness to handle stress in terms of work hours, demands from management, hard time from customers. I helps if the individual is articulate but the main point in customer service is the attitude.
