3.4.1 Recruiter Score

Each recruiter is asked to list, unprompted, the international schools from which they have recently attempted to recruit MBAs. The school appearing at the top of a recruiter list is given a score of two, and all subsequent schools are given a score of one.
Recruiter responses are then aggregated and an unprompted score is given to each school.

Recruiters are then asked to identify the schools they regard as attractive for the purpose of MBA hiring from a selection of regions around the world. Schools are divided into regions and recruiters are encouraged to identify all schools from which they might consider recruiting MBAs. They are asked to pick from a list of the 300 schools most often mentioned in the previous year’s research. Each time a school is selected from the list, it is given a score of 1, resulting in a prompted score. The prompted and unprompted scores are added together and the score is indexed against the best performing business school, which is given a score of 100%. This does not affect the relative positions of schools, but only their percentage scores in any given year (this methodology of displaying the recruiter score represents a change from previous years reflecting the growing numbers of respondents and will ensure easier comparison year on year). This percentage score is known as the school’s Recruiter Score. Only recruiters that confirm that the company hires from more than one region of the world, are classified as international MBA recruiters and generate the Recruiter Score in the final results.

3.4.2 Recruiter Position

This research does not intend to infer an overall ranking of schools from the results. The tables list schools in alphabetical order within bands of ten schools. The relative Recruiter Position of schools is displayed, based on their Recruiter Score in that year.

3.5 ADDITIONAL DATA FOR REGIONAL TABLES

To give context on the quality of students, QS TopMBA.com Research adds information to the tables.
