Recruit MBA Interns to be Future Hires

Hiring MBA interns is a cost-effective and essential way to build your leadership talent pipeline regardless of business cycles. Smart firms have learned from past mistakes and realize they cannot afford to fall behind in leadership recruiting again. And despite the economic downturn, internship offerings increased in 2009 by 2.0% over 2008.

Firms like Kaplan, SAP, Amazon.com, Citi, and Deutsche Bank are leading the charge, but other much smaller companies are also hiring interns via MBA Focus for a variety of positions, including Merchandise Buyer, Operation Manager, Senior Financial Analyst, Product Marketing, and Strategic Consultant.

These interns often turn into full-time hires. In fact, General Electric recently admitted to CollegeGrad.com, "Over 80 percent of our full time hires were converted from GE's population of interns and co-ops."

MBA internships offer a low risk way for employers to both select full-time talent and meet short-term staffing needs. (GMAC 2008).

Take your internship recruiting to the next level by ordering the MBA Focus class of 2011 first-year student databases today!
