1 Share of the call centre supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the call centre quality auditor profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A call centre supervisor role treats 8 of its required skills as things a call centre quality auditor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse staff capacity
  • call quality assurance management
  • call routing
  • call-centre technologies
  • maintain high quality of calls
  • measure call quality

What stands in the way is 13 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A call centre supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a call centre quality auditor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held maintain high quality of calls information skills
  • already held measure call quality information skills
  • already held call routing information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held call-centre technologies information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held call quality assurance management business, administration and law
  • already held analyse call performance trends information skills

All 9 carried skills, including the 8 the call centre supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 24 missing skills fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
