MBA recruitment survey


Applying to business school has to be considered as the real project. According to this MBA program choosing, its specialization, and perspectives after finishing it in such a project is the main survey. We hop that this analysis will help you to fundamentally analyze a situation on market and finally to make right decision.


Since 1990, QS Research, in collaboration with TopMBA.com, has conducted an annual survey of MBA employers worldwide to determine trends in international salaries and recruitment. The 2007 survey is the most extensive ever and presents an unrivalled overview of the world MBA recruitment market. Complete responses were received from 489 companies (445) (comparative figures for 2006 are shown in brackets throughout the report and in some instances double brackets are used to denote results from 2005) in 35 (33) different countries. This represents approximately twice the response level of the Business Week Employer MBA survey and includes five times the number of non-US respondents than any other MBA recruitment survey.

This research will be of interest to all who follow the international MBA and recruitment market. It will help three groups in particular to make informed strategic decisions:


1. Companies and Agencies that recruit MBAs
National and international recruiters will find the survey useful in managing human resource policies, such as whether to determine salaries globally or locally, and to benchmark their salaries against peer institutions.
services worldwide
2.  Business school administrators and career
MBA program administrators and career services will find the survey invaluable for providing guidance to students and managing the relationships with recruiters.
3.  Current and future MBA graduates
MBAs can use the research to determine which industries and geographies to pursue in their job search, and to help negotiate an optimum compensation package.

Paul Danos, Dean of Tuck observes “Today… applications are up for over 2/3 of all business schools and the demand for graduating MBAs is through the roof.”

MBA recruiters around the world are in the midst of a battle for talent. As world growth continues, demand for MBAs is spiralling, particularly in the service sectors of consulting and banking.

Hiring predictions from MBA recruiters suggest that MBA demand worldwide will set a new record in 2007.

MBA salary increases have not been as steep in 2007 as they were in 2006, despite the ongoing surge in MBA demand. The North American/European average reported MBA salary in 2007 is US$93,400 compared to US$90,500 in 2006 - an increase of 3.5%, compared to a 7% increase the year before. Regionally, MBA salaries in Western Europe increased the most – by 6.5% (4% ahead of the average European inflation rate).

The lower overall increase of 3.5% suggests that employers are expanding the pool of target MBAs to keep down starting salaries, by recruiting from a larger number of business schools than in the past – this theme of looking beyond the traditional top-tier business schools was often quoted by employers around the world in 2007.

When comparing compensation levels, it is important to consider not just the base salary, but also the likely total earned in one year, including bonuses.
