What Will Hiring Demand for MBA and Business Master’s Talent Look Like in 2020?

Programs that participate in our Corporate Recruiters Survey 2020 receive exclusive access to a customizable benchmark report.

Registration is now live for the Corporate Recruiters Survey 2020. Conducted in partnership with MBA CSEA, EFMD, and business schools around the world, our annual survey of employers offers vital insights to keep business schools up-to-date on the latest trends in the hiring market for recent MBA and business master’s graduates.

Participating programs receive exclusive access to a customizable benchmark report that enables you to compare the survey responses of employers with established relationships with your program against those of employers who recruit at peer programs. 

Survey topics include:

• Employer hiring plans by candidate type
• Job function placements for new business school hires
• Expected starting salaries and starting bonuses
• Internship offering plans and intern hiring by candidate type
• Skill sets, qualities, and traits employers look for in making hiring decisions
• Recruiter behavior and recruitment methods

Graduate business school programs have two options for participation:

• Option 1: GMAC administers the survey to your employers directly. Your school provides GMAC with a list of employer contacts, including name, email address, and company name. GMAC sends the survey invitation and follow-up messages to employers.
• Option 2: Your school administers the survey. GMAC will provide your school with suggested survey and reminder emails, and a generic school-level URL. Your school will invite your employers to participate in the survey directly.
