Harver Chat Assessment: Practise Handling Three Customers at Once

Practise a Harver-style live chat simulation: three customers in 12 minutes, three written replies per message, a reference panel and a reply-by-reply review.

Practice: Untimed practice chat, then 12 minutes for 3 customersAlso called “Harver chat assessment”Also called “Harver live chat simulation”

How the practice module works

  1. 01Start with an untimed practice chat. You see feedback after each reply, and you can redo it.
  2. 02Then a 12-minute clock starts. Three customers join one after another, so you will often have two or three chats open.
  3. 03For each customer message, choose one of three written replies. There is no typing.
  4. 04Check the reference info (orders, bookings and policies) before you reply: some answers depend on it.
  5. 05Your result shows reply quality and response time from Candidate Falcon’s own model, not Harver’s key.

Controls

  • Tap or click a reply to send it
  • Keys 1–3 also pick a reply
  • Tap a chat in the list to switch
  • Reference info on the right (a button on phones)

What the Harver Live Chat Simulation looks at

The Harver live chat simulation, also called the chat assessment or Live Chat Support Simulation, puts you in a customer-service chat window for 12 minutes. Virtual customers arrive one after another, roughly every 30 to 60 seconds, so you soon have two or three conversations open. For each customer message you pick one of three written replies; you never type. A sidebar holds reference information such as an order confirmation or a returns policy, and some messages can only be answered well after checking it.

Harver says the simulation measures three parts of reply quality, customer orientation, problem solving and clear communication, plus efficiency: how quickly you respond. Every reply option is ranked from best to worst on Harver’s side, and your result is a 0 to 100% score compared with other candidates. Harver does not publish the ranking, how many messages each customer sends, or the handle-time formula.

Candidate Falcon’s practice follows that format with six original customer scripts, from a faulty lamp to a card blocked abroad. Each reply carries points for the three quality areas in our own model, and the review shows which reply was strongest and why, alongside your response times. It helps you get used to juggling chats and checking the reference panel under time pressure; it is not Harver’s scoring.

How the Live Chat Simulation practice works

  1. Press Start practice and answer the practice chat. You see feedback after each reply, and you can redo it.
  2. Press Start the 12-minute chats. The first customer writes straight away; the next ones join 30–60 seconds apart.
  3. Read the customer’s message, check the reference info if it needs facts, then pick one of the three replies.
  4. Switch between chats in the list. A red badge means unread messages; the timer under each name shows how long a customer has been waiting.
  5. The run ends when all three customers are resolved or the clock reaches zero. Then review every message reply by reply.

Live Chat Simulation tips

  • Answer the customer who has waited longest first: time to respond is part of the score.
  • When a message mentions dates, prices, fees or eligibility, check the reference info before replying.
  • Prefer replies that acknowledge the customer, solve the problem in the chat and say clearly what happens next.
  • Avoid replies that pass the customer on, promise something the policy does not allow, or ask for passwords, PINs or codes.
  • Keep moving. A good reply sent now usually beats a perfect one sent after the customer has waited a minute.

Common Live Chat Simulation mistakes

  • Staying in one chat while another customer’s waiting time climbs.
  • Picking the friendliest-sounding reply even when its facts contradict the policy in the panel.
  • Choosing replies that hand the problem to another team when it can be solved in the chat.
  • Ignoring the reference panel because it takes a few seconds to read.
  • Skipping the practice step: it is there so you learn the layout before the clock starts.

A short Live Chat Simulation practice routine

  1. Play one run, then read the review: note every message where you missed the strongest reply and why.
  2. Play again a day later and aim to check the panel before every reply that depends on facts.
  3. Once your reply quality is steady, work on your median response time.
  4. Before the real test, read the employer’s help pages so its products and policies feel familiar.

Live Chat Simulation FAQ

What is the Harver live chat simulation?

It is a Harver assessment for chat and customer-service roles. Over 12 minutes you handle several virtual customers at once, choosing one of three written replies to each message and checking reference information such as orders and policies where needed.

How long is the Harver chat assessment?

Harver’s help centre gives 12 minutes for three chat simulations. The clock starts after a practice step, which you can redo. Customers arrive one after another, roughly every 30 to 60 seconds.

Do I have to type my replies?

No. Harver describes choosing between three pre-written replies for each customer message. Speed still matters, because time to respond is one of the things Harver measures.

How is the Harver live chat simulation scored?

Harver ranks every reply option best to worst and looks at customer orientation, problem solving, clear communication and time to respond. The result is a 0 to 100% score compared with other candidates. The ranking itself is not public, so Candidate Falcon’s practice uses its own points model and says so.

Can I take the Harver chat assessment on my phone?

Harver says the live chat simulation works on laptops, desktops and mobile phones. The practice works on phones too: chats appear as tabs and the reference info opens with a button.

Is this the same as Harver CHAT?

No. Harver CHAT is the name of a separate recruiting chatbot product. The live chat simulation is an assessment of how you handle customer chats.
