In 2013, INSEAD MBA graduates once again chose extraordinarily diverse career paths that reflect the wide spectrum of nationalities and professional experiences of the class. The evolution of the world economy demands that our graduates attune their career choices to address the needs of today’s businesses. Some 95% of the 2013 graduates have reported receiving an offer of employment by March 2014 in 64 countries and over 440 companies around the world. INSEAD is The Business School for the World and we take this responsibility seriously. During 2013 we have strengthened our reach by growing our team to include a member located on our Abu Dhabi campus. Increased career activities are now located on all three campuses. At the Career Development Centre, we support our students’ development as future business leaders and we strive to work with all our employers to understand their business needs in today’s global economy. Employers tell us that they hire INSEAD talent for

both their leadership potential and the value they bring to the organisation on day 1. We wish to thank all the alumni who have contributed to our success by informing us of trends in their industries and helping current promotions in their job search. We are delighted to introduce our new recruitment portal, CareerGlobe. If you are a recruiter and are interested in taking a look, please visit CareerGlobe at http://insead-csm.symplicity.com/employers We are proud to present the statistics contained in this report that once again reflect the success of our graduating class. I would like to thank our students, recruiters and alumni as we look forward to another exciting year for INSEAD careers.

From the Director

Perhaps reflecting a healthier outlook for the global economy, 2013 saw a return to a more balanced range of destinations than in 2012.

Notably, recruitment in the finance sector was up to 17% from a low of 14% the previous year. Similarly, 49% of graduates joined the corporate sectors, compared to 45% in 2012. Correspondingly, there was a fall in the number of graduates joining consulting firms. In 2013 consulting accounted for 34% of appointments – down from 41% the previous year.

Overall, salaries remained more-or-less stable in 2013, especially in the corporate sectors, although there were very slight decreases in finance and consulting. As usual, the range of starting salaries was vast – from €21,150 to €298,000 – reflecting the reality that many INSEAD graduates choose careers in social innovation in developing economies, while others head straight for the world’s great financial centres.

Geographically, last year’s fall in recruitment to Western Europe reversed itself somewhat by rising back to 38% (a 4 % increase). Numbers opting to work in North America were also slightly up and correspondingly slightly down in Asia-Pacific. However, the Asia-Pacific region remains the second highest destination chosen by our graduates. INSEAD students continue to demonstrate that they are ready to pursue careers all over the globe.

A World of Talent

One school, three campuses and two intakesThe MBA programme runs in parallel on two campuses in Europe (Fontainebleau, France) and Asia (Singapore). 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 schoolIf 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 young professionals with a solid international experience. They then learn from each other’s differences and similarities, as well as from our global curriculum and faculty, before moving on to pursue careers throughout the world.

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. • Average GMAT score (2013): 702

An intensive preparation for a successful careerINSEAD 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. Dual-Degree Programme between INSEAD and the John Hopkins University Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) The INSEAD-SAIS Dual-Degree Programme, launched in 2011, prepares students for careers that combine international relations and business administration. Students admitted to both programmes are able to complete the two degrees in two and a half years, instead of three years required to complete the degrees separately, by spending one and a half years at SAIS and one year at INSEAD.

Job Locations

INSEAD continues to open doors all over the world. In 2013, 64 countries – even more than last year – recruited the school’s MBA graduates.

In particular, 2013 saw a strengthening of recruitment to Western Europe – rising to 38% of the two graduating classes from 34% last year. The UK accounted for a significant 37% of this region’s jobs, reflecting the British economy’s return to growth and the partial recovery of the finance sector. Similarly, North America accounted for 11% of jobs, compared to 9% last year.

Within Southern Europe there were strong fluctuations. The percentage of students recruited to Spain fell sharply, but the numbers working in Italy rose considerably, leaving the region as a whole stable compared to last year. Within Africa and the Near/Middle East, it was encouraging to note a wider spread of countries – including Egypt, Ethiopia, Kuwait, Swaziland and Zambia. Nevertheless, the UAE still dominates recruitment to the Middle East, with South Africa also remaining a favourite destination.

Although Asia Pacific remains the second most popular region, for the first time in several years, there was a slight fall in the numbers of students joining organisations there – down to 27% from 29% in 2012. The most significant decreases were in Hong Kong and India. Singapore, as ever, remains the top destination in Asia Pacific, thanks to the presence of INSEAD’s Asia Campus and its still-strong economy.

Career Changes

The appetite for career change remains strong among our graduates. Around 84% of 2013 graduates switched country of work, sector or functional area, thanks to attending INSEAD, while an extraordinary 25% of the entire group succeeded in changing all three of these parameters.

It is difficult to discern long-term patterns in career change. In today’s demanding world economy employers expect new members to add value on Day 1. The wide range of talent that INSEAD students bring means that they are sought after by many sectors for this value. One such example is the move to internal consultancy roles within a wide range of companies to complement the positions in traditional professional service firms.

With respect to short-term trends, Latin Americans were among this year’s most enthusiastic expats, whereas in 2012 almost all of our Brazilian graduates returned home. We remain vigilant to the global trends this may indicate as Latin American economies continue to mature.

Overall, after a slight increase in mean and median salaries in 2012, salaries and sign-on bonuses were back to 2011 levels in 2013. This small decrease was evident in most regions – except in North America, where salaries rose, and Latin America and Northern Europe, where the decline was more marked.

The range of salaries – between €21,150 and €298,000 – was even greater than in previous years, reflecting the vast range of countries, sectors and roles where INSEAD graduates accept jobs. Nevertheless, although the mean and median are lower in Southern Europe, Latin America and Asia Pacific than

in other regions, there is perhaps surprising consistency in post-graduation starting salaries across the world.

Corporate Sectors

The long-term trend towards corporate careers accelerated in 2013, with almost a half (49%) of all INSEAD graduates joining this sector, compared to 45% in 2012 and 38% in 2011.

This year there was particularly strong interest in the Internet, software and e-commerce employers from INSEAD graduates – and vice versa. This again reflects the growing needs of businesses for data savvy talent. Notably, the percentage of offers accepted in this sector was also up on previous years.

Technology salaries increased significantly in 2013, with the median rising by more than 11% on 2012, as did media salaries, where the median increased by 10%. Meanwhile, median salaries in consumer goods and retail remained stable.

It was also interesting to note that several companies in the consumer goods, retail and technology sub-sectors crossed the threshold of three hires in

2013, suggesting that they are building long-term relationships with INSEAD and that previous appointments have proven successful. In addition, we took great interest in the increased hiring of internal consultants by the corporate sectors and are curious to see whether this trend will continue next year.

Geographically, Western Europe saw the greatest growth in recruitment to the corporate sectors. In 2013, this region accounted for 40% of appointments, as opposed to just 34% in 2012.

Consulting

Consulting continues to be a very attractive sector for INSEAD students, despite the fall in numbers hired (from 41% of graduates in 2012 to 34% in 2013). Much of this decrease is due to a reduction in students who are sponsored by their firms (-21%). Across the sector, there was a small decrease of the base salaries, but sign-on bonuses remain at around the same level as in 2012. 73% of consulting jobs come with sign-on bonuses – far higher than any other sector.

Geographically, North America and Switzerland offer by far the highest consulting salaries and India the lowest. We have observed a particular interest from the consulting firms to recruit talents with local language skills and knowledge of the local markets to better respond to the demand of their clients. Although the number of students joining the consulting sector in Asia Pacific remains strong and slightly better than 2012, this factor may have influenced students to consider other locations like Western Europe.

Another factor in this year’s decline in consulting recruitment is probably the resurgence of finance and the increasing number of corporate-sector employers that offer attractive rotational programmes or internal consulting opportunities for MBA graduates.

Within Selected Countries*



After last year’s all time low in finance hiring (14% of jobs), we were pleased to see an upturn in 2013 to 17%. Even more positively, the picture within the sector seems more balanced, with less reliance on investment banking, increased recruitment by venture capital and private equity (traditionally viewed as difficult for MBA graduates to enter immediately following graduation) and a new vogue for real estate careers.

In terms of job descriptions, internal consulting and company-wide strategy roles increased sharply in 2013. Western Europe remains the most popular destination for finance recruits at 41% of the total, but it is also pleasing to see more graduates heading for Africa and the Near/Middle East (9% in 2013 compared to 6% in 2012) and Central/Eastern Europe (4% of finance appointments – up from 1% last year).

Salaries rose sharply in Western Europe, with the median rising to €94,400 from €87,500 in 2012. There was an even steeper increase in Asia Pacific, where the median rose to €88,700 from €76,300 last year.

Summer Internships

55% of our December 2013 class completed a summer internship, most of them relatively close to campus in Western Europe or Asia Pacific.

This year, the most popular sectors were (in order): consumer & luxury goods (16% of INSEAD interns); consulting (16%); high-tech/telecommunications (12%); investment banking (9%); and perhaps most notably public sector/social impact (7%) – right up there with more traditional MBA career sectors.

Venture capital and private equity also proved attractive to our students – with 6% and 4% of interns respectively.

In 2013, the number of organisations employing INSEAD students over the summer rose from 164 in 2012 to 188. Salaries ranged from €64 a month for social impact work in India to €12,900 a month for consulting in Russia. This again reflects the diversity of our MBA graduates as well as the large spectrum of summer projects.

The Career Development Centre team provides advice and assistance for recruiters throughout the hiring process. We are committed to working closely with organisations to find an INSEAD recruitment strategy that fits their needs.

Recruiters can access 1,000+ MBA, 220+ EMBA and a network of over 47,600 Alumni through our offices. Identical opportunities to hire INSEAD MBAs are provided twice a year on both of our campuses (Europe and Asia). The number of MBA participants taking part in campus exchanges between Singapore, Fontainebleau (France) the Wharton School of Business, Kellogg School of Management (US) and CEIBS (China) has stabilized. In 2013 around 70% 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 campusIf you wish to build corporate brand image and increase awareness of your company’s 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 (March–June and September–December). 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.

A wide choice of recruiting methods

Participate in a Networking ExpoThe 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. Organisations participating in this event are invited to interview on-campus the day after, thus reducing your travel costs, and giving you early access to top talent.

Participate in a Networking EveningParticipating 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 descriptionAt any time during the year, descriptions of career opportunities (full-time positions or internships) can be posted on our new user-friendly website, 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 Book The CVs of our MBA and EMBA participants are an important recruiting tool, whether companies plan to recruit on campus or by direct contact. For each class, we publish a CV e-Book with

many useful search capabilities, such as languages, previous work experience and educational background.

Recruit for internships and projectsThe January intake has the opportunity to work on a July–August 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 eventsWe arrange many additional events throughout the year. Examples include: panel discussions on careers in specific industries or women’s 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.

ClubsINSEAD 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. 1,000+ MBA

220+ EMBA 47,600 Alumni


Important INSEAD recruiting guidelines

Non-disclosure of grades: INSEAD’s selection criteria demand 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 Dean’s 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 both 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 both 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.
