]]> Comment on Top Employers of HBS MBAs by McK http://www.insidehbs.com/top-employers-of-hbs-mbas/comment-page-1/#comment-754 McK Thu, 22 Sep 2011 19:17:12 +0000 http://www.insidehbs.com/?p=466#comment-754 The thing to keep in mind is that volatility in McK's hiring should never be analyzed by looking at a single school. We set our targets and consistently meet them each year, our targets are not per campus though. Some years a lot of students do really well / prepared really well and we take in a large amount, other years they don't perform as well. We don't enter into HBS or Wharton or GSB aiming to hire 50 people, we aim to interview X amount of people and hope that enough of them make it through all the rounds. They don't always. If that's the case we don't start hiring just because we want to get X amount of HBS / GSB students. Nationwide, McK Associate recruitment is constant over the years. Per school it can vary. The only downward trend at McK was during the recession, when fewer offers were extended for two years, but that trend has ended.

So that trend is very promising for MBA students across the country.” On some level, the strong recovery in the MBA market is a reflection of pent-up demand for managerial talent. “People were being very conservative about staffing during the recession,” says Sanghvi. “Many are now finding that they are understaffed for what they are trying to accomplish, particularly for managerial talent.
