The Brief

  • Top tier candidates were required for three Graduate Programmes: Marketing & Sales, Research & Development and the Supply Chain. 

The Process

  • Graduate Success met with employees from previous graduate programmes and key personnel at Reckitt Benckiser to understand the business objectives and the culture of the company.
  • After the initial screening process by Graduate Success, an assessment day was run for each division.
  • Six of the best candidates attended each assessment day

Very high levels of professionalism throughout, with a relevant approach to graduate recruitment and a dedicated account team.
