Find Job-Seeking MBAs from Top Business Schools on Twitter

Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are extremely valuable hiring tools with today’s growing desire for instant information and dependency on networking. Facebook and LinkedIn fulfill the networking dependency. Twitter is better for delivering instant information.

Twitter has grown over 1000% in the last year – mainly b/c of the celebrity presence. But this doesn’t mean it can’t be used as an effective hiring/recruiting tool. Many companies have a presence on Twitter. And some of the bigger employers have multiple accounts, including an entire job/hiring-dedicated presence.

Now, business schools are jumping on the bandwagon; even those older, more established programs.  These schools are just some of the b-schools @MBAFocus is already following on Twitter:

Twitter has grown over 1000% in the last year – mainly b/c of the celebrity presence. But this doesn’t mean it can’t be used as an effective job-search tool. Many companies have a presence on Twitter. And some of the bigger employers have multiple accounts, including an entire job/hiring-dedicated presence.

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!
