Summary Report
The Graduate Management Admission Council, together with survey partners European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) and the Career Services and Employer Alliance (CSEA), conducted the survey from January until March 2025, in association with the career services offices at participating graduate business schools worldwide. This survey, which we refer to as the Corporate Recruiters Survey, examines the job outlook for recent graduate business students as well as employer needs and expectations.
In total, 1,108 respondents completed this survey. There were 646 corporate recruiters and 462 staffing firm recruiters. The respondents came from 46 countries worldwide.
The objectives of this data tool are to report on:
- The current employment landscape and demand for Graduate Management
Education
- The skills employers seek in recent and future business school graduates
- Salary projections and additional compensation, such as benefits and
bonuses
- Employer needs, hiring and recruitment practices, and trends across
industries and world regions

Benchmark Report
GMAC is also pleased to offer you this interactive tool for creating benchmark reports from our annual surveys. The advantages of this online format are instant results and multiple data export options. In fact, each school that responded can create up to FIVE unique benchmark reports.
To run your benchmark reports, click the 'Benchmark Report' button below. From the list of participating schools, select your comparison group. Keep in mind, you will NOT see your school listed among the participating schools. You will see the aggregate responses from your employers in comparison with the five or more schools you select.
Remember that you are limited to five queries that will each generate its own separate report. Once you create a benchmark report, it will be saved and available to you within the tool each time you open it. Use these queries to compare your school with your direct competitors, schools you hope to compete with, or those in a particular region. The choices are yours.
Once created, the reports cannot be changed. When you create a benchmark report, it permanently uses up one of your five queries. If you make a mistake or decide you would prefer a different set of comparison schools, you will need to use another of the five queries to create that. For this reason, please make sure you are confident of each choice before running the query. Additionally, if your school has multiple dashboard users, you may want to coordinate before selecting your five queries.
Note: Some views are suppressed due to small sample sizes. Also, percentages are rounded so they may not add to 100%. Tool created by Kari Nelson, Shoshana Jarvis, and Katie Bao.
