    From the Director

    The year of 2014 was another great one for INSEAD MBA students, with 90% securing employment within 3 months of graduation. This is a quite remarkable figure for our uniquely global programme, which at just 10 or 12 months is half the length of its world-class peers. It is even more remarkable when you consider that just 8% of the class were fully-sponsored, that 81% of the class changed one of the 3 main career dimensions (sector, function or country) that our students found jobs with 333 different employers in 61 different countries and that no more than 17% of the class found employment in any one country. All of us here at the Career Development Centre are truly proud of this great class.

    Our own experience and several recent studies show that, while the job market for top-tier MBA talent is booming around the world, it is not without its challenges.

    Language requirements are becoming much tougher, especially in the Asian markets and governments around the world are putting up increasing barriers to immigration, even of highly-qualified and experienced executives. INSEAD is uniquely placed to respond to these challenges with 50,000 alumni, to be found in 173 countries around the world. Of course, employers are free to access this unique talent pool, alongside our executive and full-time MBA students, through our CareerGlobe recruitment portal.

    On the subject of alumni, they continue to be very successful as well, with 9 of them holding CEO positions in FT 500 companies, second only to Harvard Business School. Not only do they lead large multi-nationals, they also generate wealth and employment by founding and leading increasing numbers of entrepreneurial start-ups and small or medium-sized companies.

    Putting Careers at the heart of the MBA Experience

  • `03

    The year of 2014 saw an increase in recruitment to the management consulting sector which attracted 41% of the class, up from 34% in 2013. Around half of this rise is due to more students choosing to return to their former employers with the rest coming from welcome growth in new hiring. But the big news is that TMT firms in their various forms have now overtaken financial services, accounting for 19% of the graduating class and offering some of the most attractive positions and highest salaries. It has been a year of significant change within the careers team at INSEAD, with the department being restructured to focus on the 3 key areas of marketing, developing and connecting talent. Our Dean has recognised the importance of careers alongside curriculum at the heart of our world-class MBA programme and has demonstrated this support by allocating significant funds to the careers team, allowing us to make many new hires.

    As well as increasing our global outreach we will, for the first time, be able to allocate every student a personal career advisor to support them through their whole career journey all the way from admissions until they land their first job.

    I am also proud to announce the recruitment of two new directors of the INSEAD Career Development Centre. They will be starting work in August 2015 and in true INSEAD style have both made the triple switch of sector, function and country - INSEAD remains the Business School for the World!

    90% of our 2014 graduates reported employment within 3 months.This is a quite remarkable figure for our uniquely global programme, which at just 10 or 12 months is half the length of its world-class peers.

    A World of Talent

    One School, Two Intakes and Three Campuses

    The MBA programme runs in parallel in Europe (Fontainebleau, France) and Asia (Singapore) with networking and career forums also taking place in the Middle East. Two classes of approximately 500 participants graduate every year: in July and December respectively. This gives employers the opportunity to recruit twice during the year.

    The Most International Business School

    If you are a recruiter looking for executives who are comfortable working across national and linguistic borders, both sensitive to other cultures and proficient in local business practices, then it is only natural to partner with INSEAD. Our uniquely diverse environment attracts experienced professionals with a solid international experience. They then learn from each others differences and similarities, as well as from our global curriculum and faculty, before moving on to pursue careers throughout the world.

    An Intensive Preparation For A Successful Career

    INSEAD graduates do not just offer recruiters the latest business insights. They bring stamina, teamwork, entrepreneurialism, organisational skills and effectiveness in the face of pressure to the companies they join. At INSEAD we develop the capacity to master a large amount of material in a short period of time. In this high-pressure environment, we foster collaborative skills through group work in diverse teams.

    The one-year programme provides in-depth knowledge of conceptual models and analytical tools in Accounting, Entrepreneurship, Economics, Finance, Marketing, Organisational Behaviour and Strategy.

    A First-Class Business School

    We attract some of the most talented and ambitious young professionals in the world. Drawn to the school by our world-class faculty and unparalleled international alumni network, they leave INSEAD to create value and growth in companies across the globe.

    The alumni network includes Chairmen, CEOs and other senior level directors at a large number of global companies including LVMH, LOral, Power Corporation of Canada, Roche Holding Ltd, Danfoss, Statoil, Heineken, AON, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, BASF, Sanofi-Aventis, McKinsey & Company, Rio Tinto, Siemens, Prudential Plc, Lloyds Banking Group, Groupe Galeries Lafayette, LOccitane International.

    Country

    INSEAD continues to be the Business School for the World in all senses. In a class consisting of 90 nationalities, no single country accounted for more than 17% of jobs accepted.

    The regional distribution of our graduates jobs remains very similar to last year. Recruitment to the Middle East continues to be strong, thanks in part to our annual Middle East career forum. In 2014 we welcomed 38 companies and 150 students and alumni to Dubai for this one-day event.

  • 11

    Within the various regions, individual countries that have attracted more graduates this year include Turkey, Poland, Mexico and China. Singapore continues to be the most favoured destination in Asia Pacific.

    Overall, the UK remains the most popular country. Nearly 140 of our 2014 graduates accepted jobs there, across sectors, with a third in financial services. This fact reflects both the continued dominance of the UKfinancial sector within Europe and the strengthening of the British economy.

    While continuing to develop and deepen relationships in Europe and Asia, our future geographical priorities include developing opportunities in the USA, where we saw significant student demand in 2014.

    We would also like to build on the many attractive opportunities that are already available to our graduates in the Middle East and Africa.

    Career Changes

    As usual, 2014 was a year of big career changes for many of our graduates. Some 81% of the class moved to a new sector, country or job function, while 21% rose to the challenge of change across all three dimensions.

    In the longer term, the biggest career-change trend that we see among our alumni is a move to start their own company some years after graduating. Indeed some 6% of the class of 2014 started their own companies immediately on leaving INSEAD and we see more and more students choosing to go work for a start-up or SME as a stepping stone to start their entrepreneurial journey.

    In 2014, it was very heartening to see global mean and median salaries rise after a small fall the previous year. There was also an increase in the number of graduates receiving sign-on bonuses and a significant rise in the median amount from 16,200 to 19,400.

    In 2014, the regions offering the highest salaries were North America and Northern Europe and the lowest in Southern Europe.However the regional variation apart from in Southern Europe, where salaries seem substantially lower is minimal.

    The lowest salary reported (25,300) and the highest (168,000) were both in Western Europe, suggesting that sector, job function and company size are a stronger indicator of compensation levels than region.

    The combined corporate sectors remain the most popular career destination for INSEAD graduates, although recruitment fell from a record high of 49% of the class in 2013 to 42% in 2014.

    We continued to see strong growth in the tech area especially e-commerce and the internet*. Indeed, the term GAFA (Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple) has entered the student lexicon alongside MBB (McKinsey, Bain and BCG) with Amazon and Google both in our top-ten recruiters for 2014 and Apple in the top twenty. Indeed, IT, telecoms, e-commerce, internet and media now account for 19% of the total class more than the entire financial services sector. Unsurprisingly perhaps, tech salaries are higher than in many other fields.

    In 2014, there was growth too in recruitment to traditional rotational management training programmes many of which are in non-traditional industries, such as e-commerce.

    In addition, the trend towards start-ups and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has continued and accounted for 26% of those

    joining the corporate sectors. Hence our new twice-yearly entrepreneurship career forums, which each brought around 40 start-ups and SMEs to campus to meet 200+ students in 2014. In fact, three SMEs now figure in our annual top-recruiter list. This reflects both the needs of small companies to hire talent with business acumen to grow and expand internationally, and the entrepreneurial ambitions of our students.

    Finally also following a trend of recent years in 2014 we noted a slight increase in Public Sector / Social Impact recruiting, particularly to the education sector.

    *The significant increase on last years percentage is due partly to a redefinition of sectors (in line with LinkedIn categories), which decoupled E-commerce from Retail and assigned it to the Internet. The drop in recruitment to Retail / Consumer & Luxury Goods is also partially caused by this reallocation.

    Consulting

    In 2014, recruitment of INSEAD graduates into consulting rose to 41%, reflecting the appetite for hiring our MBAs and the interest from students. This figure is in line with the traditional levels we have experienced in the past, not counting recruitment in 2013.

    We are pleased that INSEAD remains an important talent pool for the major players in the sector (number one on the list of core MBA schools and sometimes the only focus). Our business development efforts also attract smaller companies who are able to find a good match with the diverse INSEAD population.

    In terms of geography, our students continue to be attracted to the UK market for its diversity, matching the diversity of our INSEAD population, and we have also noticed a significant increase in the number of students securing jobs in Singapore and in the Middle-East in 2014.

    Financial Services

    Following big fluctuations in the post-crisis years, recruitment into financial services has stabilised at 17% of the class. As usual, there is a healthy distribution of 2014 graduates across the various sub-sectors of financial services. However, INSEAD graduates remain particularly enthusiastic about private equity and venture capital, which together accounted for 25% of those joining the finance sector in 2014. Thanks to INSEADs cultural diversity, our students are also attracted to finance careers that support growth in emerging markets.

    Another trend that we have noted over the last two years is for graduates to join banks and insurance firms as internal consultants. This provides an interesting alternative to joining a consulting firm, especially for those with prior consulting experience.

    Geographically, MBA recruitment appears to be booming in the UK financial services industry. Indeed 63% of our 2014 graduates accepting finance jobs in Europe headed for the UK mainly London. On the other side of the world, we see a similar enthusiasm for that other great dynamic regional finance hub, Hong Kong, which accounted for 23% of finance recruits in Asia Pacific. Singapore also remains a popular destination for this sector.

    Globally, finance salaries rose in 2014 both the mean and the median were up by about 4,000 on the previous year. This was driven by increased compensation in investment banks, investment management firms and hedge funds particularly in North America and Western Europe.

    Summer Internships / Projects and Compensation Trends

    Some 58% of our December 2014 class used their summer vacation to do an internship or project, slightly more than in the previous year. Conversely, the number of companies employing INSEAD students over the summer fell from 189 the previous year to 149.

    The most popular sectors were, as usual, those where companies tend to recruit large numbers of MBA graduates and thus have significant internship programmes. These include consulting firms, investment banks and IT / E-commerce companies.

    Compared with last years figures, there appears to be a steep decline in interest in Retail / Consumer & Luxury Goods and a sharp rise in E-commerce / Internet internships. However this is largely due to our own recategorisation of these sectors.*

    Internship compensation rose steeply in 2014 for INSEAD students. The mean and the median monthly salaries increased to 4,500 and 4,300 (up from 3,500 and 2,800 in 2013)

In 2014 around 69% of participants chose to move at least once between campuses. Given such mobility, it is vital that recruitment messages reach all participants.

    Ideally, companies achieve this by having a physical presence on both campuses or by taking advantage of our video-conference facilities. We recommend mixing and matching the following recruitment methods according to your needs. Please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss your best approach for successful recruitment at INSEAD.

    Recruit on campus

    If you wish to build corporate brand image and increase awareness of your companys career opportunities, on-campus recruitment is usually the best approach. This consists of an on-campus recruiting event with interviews held at a later date. Employer visits take place during the two main recruitment periods (MarchJune and SeptemberDecember). Interviews can be arranged on both campuses, taking advantage of our interview rooms, video-conference facilities, and the web-based interview-scheduling system on our CareerGlobe platform.

    Participate in a Networking Expo

    The networking expo is a 2-hour multi-industry event taking place in an afternoon with a limited number of organisations invited. This event gives you the opportunity to meet with students early in the campaign and you will be able to display your promotional materials and banners in an informal setting.

    Participate in a Networking Evening

    Participating in a multi-industry networking evening, where a limited number of companies are invited, gives you a chance to network face to face with students in an exclusive setting.

    Post a Job Description

    At any time during the year, descriptions ofcareer opportunities (full-time positions or internships) can be posted on our user-friendly recruitment portal, CareerGlobe, free of charge and viewed by MBA participants on both campuses, EMBA participants and Alumni across the globe. The site makes it possible for applicants to respond directly to the recruiting organisation.

    Contact Individuals Directly Through the CV Database

    The CVs of our MBA and EMBA participantsare an important recruiting tool, whether companies plan to recruit on campus or by direct contact. We publish CV Books with many useful search capabilities, such as languages, previous work experience and educational background.

    Recruit for Internships and Projects

    The January intake has the opportunity to work on a JulyAugust internship or project during the two-month summer break. Managers hiring INSEAD MBA participants in this way benefit from having highly motivated, self-starting individuals work on specific business issues.

    Career Development Centre Sponsored Events

    We arrange many additional events throughout the year. Examples include: panel discussions on careers in specific industries or womens career issues; seminars on presentation skills or case interview techniques; and preparation for finance interviews. All of these provide participants with specialised insights and allow the companies involved to promote their brand on campus.

    Clubs

    INSEAD has a wide variety of sector-specific participant clubs, including consulting, healthcare, energy, private equity, marketing, entrepreneurship and NGOs. Working with the clubs on their various events enables recruiters to target and network with groups of motivated participants very efficiently.

    Important INSEAD Recruiting Guidelines

    Non-disclosure of Grades:

    INSEADs selection criteria include a rigorous evaluation of intellectual and professional abilities. To obtain the MBA degree is a significant achievement. As a matter of policy, grades are considered confidential during the recruitment process. However, participants will be able to communicate whether or not they are on the official Deans List of high performers. Full transcripts of grades can be obtained only after graduation.

    Equal Consideration for Participants on Both Campuses:

    Participants are selected from a centralised applicant pool, so all campuses have roughly the same MBA profile. Recruiters are therefore expected to consider all candidates regardless of their campus location, including those on the exchange with Wharton, Kellogg and CEIBS. It is also in employers interests to target all INSEAD campuses, as after the first four months of the programme participants are able to move freely between sites every two months. The Career Development Centre has comprehensive systems in place, such as video-conferencing equipment, to facilitate this process.

    Non-discrimination:

    As an international business school, INSEAD adheres to the principles of equality and impartiality. We expect companies recruiting at INSEAD to respect these principles.
