Similarly, when HR managers choose from which business schools to recruit, they will draw from a wide range of information sources. They will evaluate their experience of MBA alumni currently working at the firm and canvass their opinions; they will assess the quality and efficiency of schools' career services and the reputation of the school, globally and locally.
HR decision makers look beyond rankings and examine the facilities, the course content and the quality of students. The better the performance within an organisation of MBAs recruited from particular schools, the more likely those schools are to feature well in this research. Year on year, this survey reveals remarkable consistency in school selection by many of our recruiter respondents. Allegiance to particular schools is not gained or lost by one good or bad student, but by a sustained experience over several years.

1.3 THE GLOBAL MARKETPLACE

International MBA recruiting is no longer the domain of a few prestigious US and European companies. A growing number of HR managers in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe are informed about MBA education. Managers in these regions have also been asked to share their views on the schools they would prioritise for MBA hiring. In today's global economy, an HR manager in a large organisation anywhere in the world is expected to be informed and knowledgeable about the MBA marketplace. All will find this research useful. An MBA education and MBA career opportunities have become truly global, attracting as much interest in Beijing and Buenos Aires, as they do in Boston or Birmingham. Many companies, in banking, consulting, healthcare, utilities, transportation, technology, telecoms and other sectors, continue to favour an MBA education, both for their own executives and as a source of new talent.

In recognition of the global dimension, QS research chooses to present the Global Recruiters' Top 100 Business Schools not as a list of the top 100 worldwide, but as the top-40 in each of North America and Europe and the top-10 in each of Asia Pacific and Latin America (Total 100). The authors believe that this is a better reflection of recruitment needs worldwide.
