MBAYear-on-Year Hiring Projections, 2008 to

2018

The hiring outlook for MBA talent has moderated as hiring projections are slightly lower in 2018 compared with recent years. Despite the slight softening in hiring projections, 4 in 5 companies plan to hire MBA talent in 2018.

Nine in ten (90%) companies in Asia-Pacific plan to hire MBAs in 2018—the highest share of any world region. Eighty-five percent of US companies, 81 percent of Latin American companies, and 64 percent of European companies plan to hire MBAs in 2018.

Consistent with past years, larger companies are more likely than smaller companies to have 2018 MBA hiring plans. More than 9 in 10 Fortune 100, 500, and publicly traded companies plan to hire recent MBA graduates in 2018.

Start-up companies have the largest increase between their 2017 MBA actual hiring rate (55%) and 2018 projected hiring rate (77%).

MBA hiring demand is strongest among companies in the health care, technology, and energy/utilities industries. Hiring projections from nonprofit/government employers is down compared with past years.
