MBA student database release dates for the 2014-2015 recruiting season



Trying to hire the best MBA students from the world's best business schools? There are a dozen things you need to do to attract top leadership talent, but being the first to contact them, the first to shake their hand, and the first to offer them a job will certainly help. To do so, you need to get access to their school's resume database the moment it is released to employers.

But please also be aware that many highly-ranked schools have strict policies and dates around early recruitment of their students. It is in your firm’s best interest to familiarize yourself with each of the school's policies. Visit the "More Info for Recruiters" page of their .edu website for more information.

Here are the release dates for each of our partner school's new class of 2015 and 2016 MBA student resume databases:

Top 10 apps for recruiters



Are you a MBA recruiter with an Apple iDevice?  If you are, then you are holding a powerful recruiting tool in your hand.  Whether you are jotting down notes about candidates, looking for lodging and dining when you travel, giving a presentation on-campus, or just unwinding after a long day of work, here are 10 mobile apps for every MBA recruiter:

10. Global Focus - If you're looking for a better way to recruit on the campus of the world's top b-schools, try our Global Focus mobile app. The Global Focus mobile app lets you minimize the paper chase by putting the world’s best talent at your fingertips. Access the resumes and profiles of candidates at our partner schools and follow-up with potential hires directly from the app. 

9. Flight Control - At the end of a long day of trying to land the perfect candidate, you need to unwind and have a little fun.  Flight Control is that perfect diversion.  Use your finger to guide planes to the runway for a smooth landing -- but make sure two planes don’t have intersecting flight paths! 

 8. Keynote - Have to give a presentation about your company to career services on the fly?  Keynote is the ideal presentation companion.  It allows for full customization of your presentation and some eye-catching templates to hold their attention.  It's also a remote to control your Mac presentations while on stage.

 7. Google Maps - From satellite images from space to ground-level street views, Google Maps has the world mapped out.  This app is the perfect tool for finding your way around campus or in any city.  It also provides spoken driving directions, color-coded real-time traffic conditions, and vector-based maps (smooth at any size).  Google Maps will help you get where you are going, again and again.

[Infographic] Where mobile apps fit into the MBA recruitment process

MBA recruitment is a structured and complex process. Career service offices layout strict rules for on-campus-recruiting. Plus there are thousands of MBA students at hundreds of graduate business schools around the world! So reaching this elite leadership talent can be a difficult task.

Today, recruiters use a mixture of traditional on-campus, in-person recruitment methods and new digital recruitment tools to aid them in this complex process. This infographic, "Digital MBA Recruitment: Top 10 recruiting tasks done by device," gives you a glimpse into how leading MBA employers are recruiting top MBA talent. We surveyed over 500 recruiters from our network to get this information.

MBA Focus recruiting and career services tips for 2013

Business schools, employers, and analysts are all predicting an uptick in MBA recruiting in 2013 -- and the class of 2013 MBA students are hoping they're right.

Despite technological innovations and creative new recruitment techniques, many MBA career service offices still lack simple solutions to the following issues:
  1. Expanding the employer network to startups, nonprofits, and other companies that don't traditionally recruit on campus.
  2. Gathering employment data from students in a timely fashion for employment reporting.
  3. Helping candidates compare offers among peers with relative data.

How to integrate video interviewing into your hiring process

Video interviewing will never replace the in-person, one-on-one, final interviews needed to ensure a potential employee is the right fit for your company's culture. But it can be an extremely valuable tool to find top talent faster and improve the overall quality of hires.

Video Interviewing - MBA Focus

In an upcoming webinar hosted by MBA Focus, in partnership with InterviewStream, employers will learn that even though video interviewing will never replace the handshake, it should be an integral part of every company's recruitment process. The goal of the webinar is to introduce the five questions every employer should ask before implementing a video interviewing strategy; how to use pre-recorded video interviews for screening candidates; how to build a positive, branded candidate experience using video interviewing; and time saving tips and techniques for on-campus recruitment.

According to Marie Larsen, writer for Recruiter.com, "the reason video interviewing is going to hit it big is that it provides the most basic, simple, important fix imaginable: it saves money."

But video interviewing isn't just beneficial to employers, it's also convenient for candidates. In a recent SoloCup survey of students who were interviewed using InterviewStream’s pre-recorded video interviewing, 97% of students found the interview platform convenient to complete.

Video interviewing has already been widely adopted by: universities, to assist in their campus recruiting efforts; executive recruiting firms, to sort through candidates from around the world; and large corporations, to screen candidates in remote locations.

"For recruiters, video interviewing is the vehicle that finally delivers the package that hiring managers have long wanted: a more comprehensive profile of the candidate with less upfront investment from the hiring manager through a process that is both efficient and collaborative," states Talent HQ’s creator, editor, and Recruiting & Diversity Leader, Jason Buss.

But it wasn't always so prevalent. Despite existing for nearly a decade -- software like Skype, released in 2003, and companies like InterviewStream, founded in 2003 -- video interviewing wasn't truly adopted until the 2008-2009 recession. During that time, 52% of companies expected to decrease hiring, travel budgets were slashed, and companies and career service offices were forced to do more with less.

Today, the benefits of video interviewing include: increasing recruiting productivity, improving quality of hire, eliminating or significantly reducing travel costs, reducing CO2 emissions, building stronger relationships earlier in the interview process, and removing time barriers associated with international recruitment.

For more information on best practices in video interviewing, join two of the leaders in video interviewing and recruitment technology -- Dave Hoy, founder of MBA Focus, and Randy Bitting, CEO of InterviewStream -- for a webinar on Tuesday May 15 at 12:00 noon EST to discuss how to integrate video interviewing into your current recruitment processes. Registrations are open until midnight EST on May 14. Sign up now at https://www.mbafocus.com/Webinar.aspx.
