The 5 questions that produce those numbers

These are the questions a recruiter screening support leaders asks on a call. Answer them on paper and your profile writes itself.

1

How many agents did you manage, at the most?

headcount is the first thing a support recruiter screens on

people

2

How many tickets or conversations a week did the team handle?

volume is how they size the operation you actually ran

tickets per week

3

What happened to CSAT or your satisfaction score, and over what period?

a result needs a before, an after and a clock

score, before and after

4

What were first response and resolution times when you left?

response time is the number support leaders are hired against

hours or minutes

5

Did you cut cost per ticket, deflect volume, or automate anything? By how much?

this is what separates a manager from an operator

% or currency

Write your answer to each one down. A figure you cannot remember exactly is still better as a range than as a duty.

Why a customer support manager’s profile ends up with none of these numbers in it

Support work is measured in dashboards you looked at daily and then never wrote down. The queue knew your numbers. Your profile does not.

A grader cannot fix this. It can only reword the lines already on the page, and those lines are the problem — there is no agents managed figure in them for it to find. The numbers were never written down, so they have to be asked for.
