Case Study: Assessment Centre ensures internal selection process is fair and transparent

When the role of Regional Sales Manager for the North became available, BBraun, a leading global health-care company, hoped to find the ideal candidate internally. Getfeedback were called in to ensure a transparent, fair and rigorous assessment process to identify whether any of the 4 internal applicants would be capable of fulfilling the role, and to offer development to all candidates.

BBraun couldn't be without this critical role for long and therefore it was essential that the selection process was conducted in the shortest timescales. Getfeedback had just one week to plan, prepare for, and run the assement centre.
