MBA CSEA, an association of business school career management offices and companies who hire MBA students, conducts its recruiting trends survey yearly. The 2015 findings show that both on-campus recruiting opportunities and full-time job postings have increased for most schools worldwide in a similar capacity to the same survey last year.  

 About 70 per cent of respondents reported an increase in on-campus recruiting for full-time jobs, while 60 per cent of respondents reported an increase in full-time job postings. In the spring 2014 survey, the figures were 55 per cent and 70 per cent respectively, according to the association.

The strongest increase by industry was seen in the consulting industry, compared with technology in the 2014 survey. The largest decrease was seen in petroleum and energy sector. For the third year in a row, start-ups showed the strongest increase by company type. 

A similar trend was obvious for internships at companies with 60 per cent of respondents seeing an increase in on-campus recruiting for internships and 70 per cent seeing an increase in job postings.   

MBA graduates also see increasing value in their education and report having great success landing jobs with salaries on average nearly doubling their pre-degree salary according to a Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) survey.

Of the 3,000-plus graduate b-school students in this year's class who responded to the 2015 GMAC Global Management Education Graduate Survey, 9 in 10 (89 per cent) rated the value of their degree as a good to outstanding value and 88 per cent would recommend their programme to others considering a graduate business degree.
