The MBA CSEA Fall 2018 Recruiting Trends Survey presents key information about the recruiting trends for full-time and part-time MBA students as well as for specialized masters program students. The report is based on confidential surveys completed between January and February 2019 by 84 MBA Career Services & Employer Alliance (MBA CSEA) member schools . This report is published by the MBA Career Services & Employer Alliance, the premier provider of education, information and expertise for the support and development of individuals in the MBA career management and employment professions.

The 2018 MBA CSEA Fall Recruiting Trends Survey was compiled, tabulated and analyzed by Industry Insights (www .industryinsights .com), an independent professional research and analytics firm that specializes in conducting operating surveys, compensation studies, market assessment surveys, customer satisfaction research, educational programs and other forms of customized research for associations.

MBA CSEA FALL RECRUITING TRENDS REPORT



About This Report

This report was prepared by Industry Insights of Dublin, Ohio, while working closely with MBA CSEA in the design of the study. In January 2019, confidential survey forms (refer to https://www.secureii.com/MBACSEA/account/login.aspx for a sample) were made available to member institutions on an online portal hosted by Industry Insights.

This report provides an “abridged” view of the survey results. In cases where a more precise data segment is desired, all survey participants have been given access to interactive, Online Reporting Tools (housed in the online MBA CSEA Research Portal at https://www.secureii.com/MBACSEA/account/login.aspx), which allows for more specific data analyses (provided sampling requirements are met) than this report could reasonably contain. Users of the Online Reporting Tools are able to customize their own data cuts to create benchmarks using aggregate data that most closely match their circumstances or areas of interest. Individual school-level data remains confidential, and is not available to other survey respondents.

This online, interactive reporting tool allows more specific information than this report could reasonably provide. For example, a participant could create a multivariable data aggregation based on a specific university type and region. Additionally, the report output through the Online Reporting Tools includes the individual respondent’s own data alongside the reported norms for institutions meeting the search criteria. Thus, the participant is provided invaluable information without needing to spend time and effort performing any manual calculations. For convenience, all results can be exported to Excel® or printed to PDF .

The information contained in this report and in the online reporting tools is confidential, and may not be shared with other organizations or entities without permission from MBA CSEA.
