When Fuat Ecer decided to go back to school for an M.B.A. after three and a half years working as a consultant, he wanted to be certain to find the best school in which to invest his time, money and future.
"What kind of door-opener do you need?" wondered Mr. Ecer, a 31-year-old German businessman, who sought the school that would best help him find employment in a top global company, even during an economic downturn.
Just as students want their school to be the right "door-opener", companies are looking for a way to narrow the field of candidates looking for work with them by choosing particular schools for recruiting. Even though business leaders say that the choice of school is not the only criterion for selecting one job candidate over another, a new survey has found patterns among hundreds of leaders who were asked to weigh in on the schools they looked to first when hiring.
Emerging, a French consulting firm, surveyed employers on which schools they tended to rely on, and on what qualities made job candidates most employable. Carried out in collaboration with Trendence, a German consulting firm, the survey included hundreds of employers from 10 countries. Emerging boiled down the results to 150 universities that is called the Emerging/ Trendence Global Employability Ranking—a list that includes the traditional top elite schools in North America as well as relative newcomers in Asia and Europe.
The study is meant to give "universities, recruiters and students the most valuable of tools: a road-tested blueprint of where it’s best to study in order to get a job," Emerging said as it released its findings.
For business schools, having a good track record with companies is crucial. Jeff Muzzerall, director of the Corporate Connections Center at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, said that companies often sought out the school’s graduates because of its reputation.
"Reputation plays a crucial role in where employers recruit," he said, noting that Canada’s big five banks came to his business school first when looking for new recruits.
Some experts warn that surveys like this, and the numerous business-school rankings published every year, tend to ignore the large variations in students’ needs and schools’ strengths. But students say the lists are useful in helping determine where to train for their careers in management.
Rankings aside, employers say they look for versatile candidates, and the school that trained them is only partially relevant.
"The whole package has to work for us," said Steffen Laick, a top recruiter at Ernst & Young, the global accounting firm. "We are still interested in the essentials."
Besides the skills needed for the job, those essentials include an overall sense of focus, along with a sense of balance in a student’s life, according to Mr. Laick. "We might look at extracurricular activities," Mr. Laick said.
Though the top 20 schools in the employability survey are dominated by well-known U.S. and British universities, a few, like the University of Tokyo, are institutions where the culture of business schools is a more recent phenomenon. That suggests that employers, in their search for global workers, are looking beyond traditional borders. Yet even in a world of globalized businesses, regional differences prevail, as many business schools tend to feed into specific markets.
In Mexico, Mr. Melo, who often assists with hiring at Televisa, said that most high-level jobs were filled with graduates from the public Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico or the private Instituto Tecnologico Autonomo de Mexico. While both institutions enjoy good reputations in Mexico, they might not be on the mind of someone hiring in London, who might be looking at traditional global school rankings.
Though much of a particular school’s reputation can be attributed to the quality of the classroom experience, business schools also earn much of their following because of their vast networks of alumni, who often help new graduates along.
"Some elite schools are known for their networks," said Mr. Laick of Ernst & Young.
"That can be important in some countries," he added.
Tony Somers, director of the M.B.A. career management center at H.E.C. Paris, agreed that the alumni network at his school was important and said that the school’s significant "reputation can make it easier for that initial interface."
"Nothing succeeds like students getting work in the company and then becoming alumni," he said, noting that the school’s graduates tended to be the best advocates of its program.
Special relationships between recruiters and business schools, particularly schools that recruiters approach directly, can also influence school choice. In fact, Mr. Somers said that members of his department were constantly talking with potential employers for his graduates.
Dorothy Grandia, part of the M.B.A. career development center at the Rotterdam School of Management at the Erasmus University of Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, said that even with all those factors taken into account, schools were never the only factor in hiring a particular applicant for a job.
"If you are the right candidate in every other aspect, the company is not going to exclude you if you are not from the right school," she said, noting that European companies tended to be less school-focused than their U.S. counterparts.
