6.3.3 Technology

Top 10 Technology MBA recruiters in 2007

Amazon, Avaya Communications, Compuserman, Dell, Google, IBM, Microsoft, PTC, Vodafone, Yahoo. (BT, HP, Philips, Samsung replaced from 2006).

Recruitment of MBAs into technology companies has finally bounced back, reporting the largest sector increase of 29% (17%). Avaya Communications is one of the largest recruiters of MBAs in the technology field. Telecommunications companies such as British Telecom and Vodafone are very active. Some software companies, like Microsoft and Oracle for example, have increased their intake. Chloe Chometon of Oracle Ireland looks for MBAs with "International exposure, structured thinking". Tom Koziki, Director of Career Services at UC Irvine, says, "The high tech corridor on the west Coast is vibrant."

We were unable to obtain significant data from Asian technology recruiters in 2007, but reports suggest that hiring in China, Taiwan and Korea is extremely active. We expect some Chinese companies to appear strongly in this research in the future.

Sue Warren at BT Retail, which was the fourth largest recruiter at London Business School last year, reported that MBAs can "challenge the status quo by introducing dynamic new thinkers and innovative leaders to the company. These are bright people with the latest business training. They are not tied to the 'way we do things around here'."
