The people being hit by the cuts are getting first crack at transfering to the positions. I got the call last night from my recruiter. He was told by the manager it will be about a week at best, they are already intervieiwng the candidates who have to interview for their current job within Covidien, before the air clears and then it will be a very quick process if they go to outside candidates since they want everyone onboard mid Oct. Reality to him is if they are currently in the terriotry with another division, he is betting no matter what, the rep affected will take the job due to how the market looks currently.
