  • Donald Trump's campaign was extremely divisive and beset with controversies.

    His campaign was mocked by senior politicians and campaign officials are anxious about attracting top talent for his cabinet.

    Trump is keen to recruit from the private sector; conservative activists and industry stalwarts could also be appointed to key positions.

    Let's take a look at the most likely contenders.

  • Likely candidates

    Secretary of State

  • Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Trump's long time supporter, is a serious contender for Secretary of State.

    Another possible candidate is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Bob Corker; the senator from Tennessee indicated he would "strongly consider" serving in this position.

    Former US Ambassador to the UN, John Bolton, is also on Trump's radar.

  • Who

    Treasury Secretary

    For the position of Treasury Secretary, Trump would like to appoint his fundraiser, Steven Mnuchin.

    Mnuchin is a Goldman Sachs veteran and the current chairman and chief executive of Dune Capital Management, a private investment firm.

    Analysts believe appointing a Wall Street insider could soothe the financial sector's nerves.

  • Who could it be?

    Another vocal Donald Trump supporter, New Jersey Governor Christie, currently the head of the president-elect's transition team, is another contender for this position.

  • Several possibilities

    Interior Secretary

    Sarah Palin, former Alaskan governor, is a likely contender as well; Trump has indicated his keenness to offer her a cabinet post.
