All the leading firms have returned to aggressive MBA hiring. In particular, the big strategy players like McKinsey, BCG, Accenture, Bain, Booz Allen, and Roland Berger are recruiting heavily.
Accenture historically hires between 10,000 and 17,000 people, globally, each year. William Ziegler, Global Head of Recruiting at Accenture says, "Accenture has a strong commitment to balancing our resources, and will continue to identify MBAs in the marketplace who possess the skills needed to serve our clients. We continue to anticipate hiring more people in the next calendar year. Outsourcing remains the fastest growing segment of consulting services, accounting for 65% of Accenture's new business."

The growing number of corporate consultancies is experiencing strong growth in MBA hiring. For example, Siemens Management Consulting specialises in technology and business outsourcing. Dell has recently changed its name from Dell Computers, reflecting the intention to build up its business consulting division helping Dell hardware customers to plan their IT requirements. Such strategies follow in the footsteps of IBM, which is, today, the world's largest provider of consultancy services, by revenue and employment numbers.

There are also a growing number of small specialist consultancies looking to hire MBAs. Many such firms are using search agencies, or web services such as www.global-workplace.com, rather than visiting schools. There is also a growth in specialist consultancies, for example ZS Associates, with a focus on sales and marketing.
