This paper offers the first longitudinal, holistic look of employer and career services data that examines recent hiring and recruitment trends of U.S. MBAs and other business master's talent*. It combines the unique perspectives of the career services professionals who contribute to our annual Recruiting Trends Surveys with those of the employers who respond to GMAC's annual Corporate Recruiters Survey, providing more of a complete view and critical insights into recent U.S. hiring and recruitment trends.


Quick Facts:

• More U.S. employers are hiring non-MBA business master's talent before the pandemic; MBA hiring is largely as expected across industries and company sizes.
• Employers are increasingly using virtual and AI-powered recruitment practices, though student interest in in-person recruitment efforts is resurging.
• U.S. employers say leadership, innovation, and AI and technology skills will grow the most in importance in five years.

Thank you to the incredible team at GMAC for their work on this paper. We look forward to continuing to partner with them in the future.
