About the Corporate Recruiters Survey
For more than two decades, the Corporate Recruiters Survey from the GMAC™ has provided the world’s graduate business schools and employers with data and insights to understand current trends in skill demand, hiring, compensation, and perceptions of MBA and business master’s graduates.
Based on responses from over 620 corporate recruiters and hiring managers at staffing firms around the world, the Corporate Recruiters Survey results provide updates around these core themes. In addition, it examines why employers remain confident in graduate management education (GME) before evaluating how their confidence translates to real and projected hiring and compensation trends.

Industry perspectives
“The future belongs to professionals who can use emerging technology as a multiplier rather than view it as a competitive threat. Employers are increasingly seeking those who can combine analytical and technological capabilities with strong communication, active resilience, sound judgment, and the ability to lead people. We believe that business schools have an even more important role to play in developing both sides of that equation.” - Joy Jones, CEO of GMAC.
"Employers are increasingly using AI to automate routine tasks in areas like coding, data processing, and customer service, but they continue to invest in talent that can apply judgment, solve problems, and help organizations navigate change. Historically, technology shifts have changed jobs more than they eliminate them—and employers are signaling that this transition will be no different.” - Sabrina White, Senior Vice President of School & Industry Engagement, GMAC.
