3.4.1 Recruiter Score

Each recruiter is asked to list, unprompted, the international schools from which they have recently attempted to recruit MBAs. The school appearing at the top of a recruiter list is given a score of two, and all subsequent schools are given a score of one. Recruiter responses are then aggregated and an unprompted score is given to each school.

Recruiters are then asked to identify the schools they regard as attractive for the purpose of MBA hiring from a selection of regions around the world. Schools are divided into regions and recruiters are encouraged to identify all schools from which they might consider recruiting MBAs. They are asked to pick from a list of the 200 schools most often mentioned in the previous year's research. Each time a school is selected from the list, it is given a score of 1, resulting in a prompted score.

The prompted and unprompted scores are added together and, in order to allow comparison between years, the score is then normalized as if 200 recruiters responded to the survey. If more recruiters responded, each school's recruiter score will be reduced by a similar fraction, and vice versa. This does not affect the relative positions of schools, but only their absolute scores in any given year. This score is known as the school's Recruiter Score. Only recruiters that confirm that the company hires from more than one region of the world, are classified as international MBA recruiters and generate the Recruiter Score in the final results.
