Recruiters flock to B-Schools this year


It's good news for MBA graduates this year.Rising from a slumber after the recession, some  79 per cent companies plan to hire fresh management graduates this year, compared to 72 per cent in 2011.

On an average, the number of MBA freshers per firm has also increased from 13 last year to 17 this year, according to a survey by NGO Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) and administrator of GMAT exam.

The regional variations in accordance with the exonomic mood is very much visible though. Whereas companies in the Asia-Pacific region and the United States expect continued growth in hiring in 2012 for all management graduates, European companies project that 2012 hiring levels will be similar to those in 2011.

Among those hiring in 2012, 36 per cent firms will hire due to increased workload, and 14 per cent because of increased profit.

Small companies — fewer than 1,000 employees — account for the largest proportional increase in demand for MBA graduates.

According to the survey, work experience and internship are main factors while selecting candidates.

“Recruiters, while selecting a candidate for interview, often considers the candidate’s work experience. The top three criteria include job function, industry and years of experience,” the report stated.

The most popular industries in which the MBA class of 2012 searched for jobs were products and services, consulting, finance and accounting, irrespective of the course type.
