Employers looking for new MBA recruits may want to go further afield to find the right skills, a new report has found.
The Global Recruiter’s Top 100 Business Schools report questioned 489 employers in 35 countries to provide a ‘definitive’ list of 100 business schools whose MBA students are currently most attractive to international recruiters.
The list featured 35 schools in the US, five in Canada, 32 schools in Europe, 23 in Asia-Pacific and five in Latin America.
Among the 10 British schools included in the report were Cass Business School, Cranfield School of Management, Lancaster University, and Saïd Business School at Oxford.
Nunzio Quacquarelli, the report’s author, said schools in Europe and North America are falling behind.
“Among the 22 new entrants this year are 13 schools in Asia benefiting from the region’s recruitment boom and their own efforts to increase faculty and student quality.
“This is putting pressure on European and North American schools to remain front-of-mind for employers who can only visit a limited number of campuses in any recruiting season,” he said.
