Why recruit at ESADE?Exceptional talentESADE appreciates that the key to business success in a changing environment is hiring the right people at the right time. A partnership with ESADE provides you with privileged access to exceptional talent and a unique and personalised recruitment experience.

Rigorous admissions As ESADE climbs the rankings,

the increasing volume of applicants gives us a larger and more varied pool of candidates year on year. ESADE insists on a high minimum requirement of academic ability,

professional experience and leadership potential.

Adaptive high performersESADE graduates are prepared for the most challenging of multi-cultural environments as a result of the ESADE focus on teamwork, which fosters an environment of collaboration versus one of

simple individual performance and provides corporate partners with

candidates ready to take on senior leadership positions

in any team setting.

Entrepreneurial mindset As a core module of the MBA, the entrepreneurship track assists students in applying recently learned management principles to an authentic business situation. In the recent economic climate, ESADE has recognised the importance of “Intrapreneurism” in organisations and adapted the

syllabus appropriately. With an established entrepreneurship

centre and it’s very own centre for innovation,

CREAPOLIS, ESADE makes every effort to foster an innovative approach to doing business.

DiversityWith students from over forty-five countries we are proud to be one of the most diverse business schools in the world. In addition to geographical diversity, our classes are characterized by students from a multitude of educational and employment backgrounds. Employers are continually impressed by the candidates’ wide range of skills, experience and language abilities and at the global recruitment possibilities with a single visit on campus.

Inter-school Exchange Over the last thirty years ESADE has partnered with top MBA schools worldwide to offer its students attractive exchange opportunities. Long established relationships allow us to place students in schools like NYU Stern, Chicago Booth, Kellogg Graduate School of Management, NUS Singapore, Haas Berkeley, CEIBS, HEC Paris, Duke University and Michigan Ross School of Business. Hosting visiting students here on campus has proven to add diversity to our MBA community and further enriches the student body both academically and culturally.
