Every phase is intensified, from the start time, which is in the fall, to salary offers, which are expected to be more lucrative. MBA candidates expect to be pampered, to be offered jobs with expanded responsibilities and to see a company in its best light, from presentations to interviews to site visits. Well developed relationships with MBA schools and a solid internship program with the school are part of the process. MBA candidates will take longer to make a decision about a job offer and will have expanded expectations. Whenever students are present, you need to have something they can take away.
Gifts range from coffee mugs to free use of a car.
Free gifts are a staple of MBA recruiting and are becoming more elaborate. If you accomplish nothing else, you will introduce your product to the students and may gain a new customer. You can research dollar amounts with career offices at targeted schools or through national organizations. Many offers will hinge on benefits such as alternative work schedules, signing bonuses or relocation payments. Tailor your offer to the individual.
