3.4.2 Recruiter Position

This research does not intend to infer an overall ranking of schools from the results. The tables list schools in alphabetical order within bands of ten schools. The relative Recruiter Position of schools is displayed, based on their Recruiter Score in that year.

3.5 ADDITIONAL DATA

To give context on the quality of students, QS TopMBA.com Research adds information to the tables.

3.5.1 Average GMAT Score

We list the average Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) score for each school featured. The GMAT is taken by almost all MBA candidates seeking admission to business school. It is widely viewed as an objective source of information to compare the quality of candidates.

3.5.2 Average Years of Work Experience

The survey authors are of the opinion that the greater the levels of experience of an incumbent class of MBA students, the greater the learning experience for all participants. This is also listed in the tables. Many Deans comment in their opening speech that MBA students will learn as much from each other as they will from their professors. The inference is that the greater the average number of years of work experience, the higher the quality of the student class.

3.5.3 Methodology and Credentials

The TopMBA.com International Recruiter Survey collects primary data on the state of the recruitment market and predictions of future trends from recruiters in industry, consulting, financial services, and technology. The data includes specific analyses by sector, geography, and year. Time-trend analysis and sector / regional variations have been incorporated into this final report. Unlike many surveys, the QS research does not rely on MBA graduates to report their earnings, but obtains the information from the employers who pay them.
