Ms. Dayer, 45-years-old, was one of four candidates who interviewed around the same time for the job. They were all part of a new program, launched in July and designed to accelerate the pharmaceutical company’s recruiting process.

* A former colleague introduces you to his boss:The organization is building an exciting new division and looking for new staff. Can you entice the boss’s interest in you as a must-have new team member?
