Strong employees kept freezing in internal interview panels — so great candidates lost out to external hires. The L&D team gave staff Miclea to practice, and internal promotions took off.
The challenge
Employees who excelled day to day struggled when they sat across from an internal hiring panel — they couldn't translate their work into crisp interview answers. Promising internal candidates kept losing roles to outside hires, which was slower, costlier, and bad for morale.
Managers wanted to grow people internally but had no scalable way to prepare them for the interview itself.
How Miclea helped
The company offered Miclea to every employee considering an internal move. Staff rehearsed for the specific role they were targeting and walked into panels confident and concise.
The outcome
Internal candidates passed panels at more than twice the previous rate, and 40% of open roles were filled from within. Time-to-fill dropped and employees saw a real path forward — without leaving the company to find it.
"Our people were always good enough for the role — they just couldn't show it in the panel. Miclea closed that gap, and now we promote from within by default."
