INSEAD MBA Graduates 201202
In true INSEAD tradition, the graduates of 2012 were extraordinarily diverse. Among them 83 nationalities were represented and roughly one-third were women. With an average age of 29 and 5.6 years’ experience, they joined the school from a very wide variety of industries and functions.
Impressively, 85% of our 2012 graduates also reported changing geography, function or industry – and 24% bravely changed all three dimensions.We at INSEAD have also made an exciting change as we move into the future as the INSEAD Career Development Centre. This evolution from Career Services better reflects
our important mission to empower our students to develop lifelong career strategies as well as our emphasis on developing meaningful relationships with organizations recruiting our talent.
We are proud to present the statistics contained in this report that once again reflect the success of our graduating class. Three months after graduation, we received an impressive 93% response rate to our survey and 94% of these respondents reported receiving at least one offer. I would like to take this opportunity to thank these students – and, of course, all the recruiters and alumni who have helped to make 2012 another great year for INSEAD careers.

A year of change and development
INSEAD MBA Graduates 2012 03
Reflecting global market trends, 2012 saw a dramatic drop in finance recruitment with 14% of graduates joining this sector (down from 23% in 2011) – the lowest we have recorded.
The good news is that consulting and industry picked up the slack – particularly with finance roles in the corporate sector. Overall, 45% of graduates reported jobs in the corporate sectors, while 41% joined consulting firms. There were big increases in the number of graduates taking jobs in energy, the public sector and social impact organizations, while numbers in consumer and luxury goods as well as high-tech industries remaining stable.
Geographically, the most notable trend was a fall in numbers recruited to Western Europe. Meanwhile, recruitment to Asia Pacific was up across a wide range of countries. Africa and the Middle East also saw increases, particularly in the UAE and Lebanon. Remuneration levels were up slightly in 2012. Mean and median salaries increased a small amount across all sectors, while sign-on bonuses were down a bit. As usual, the range of starting salaries was huge – from €17,200 to €199,200 – reflecting, once again, the diversity of INSEAD graduates’ career destinations.

A World of Talent
One school, two 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 around the globe. • Average GMAT score (2012): 703

An intensive preparation for a successful careerINSEAD graduates do not just offer recruiters the latest business insights. They bring stamina, teamwork, entrepreneurialism, organizational 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, Organizational 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.

Full-time jobs and compensation trends
Of the 997 participants in the two classes which completed the INSEAD MBA programme in July and December 2012, 929 (93%) responded to the Career Development Centre survey and 20 reported not having started their job search.
Of these 909 graduates actively looking for a job, 855 (94%) reported having received at least one job offer 3 months after graduation, 793 (87%) gave us details of their career decision and 597 (66%) reported full salary information, on which the salaries section of the following report is based.

INSEAD continues to offer its MBA graduates a world of opportunities. Companies in a remarkable 63 countries recruited from the classes of 2012.
As usual, thanks largely to our campus in Singapore, INSEAD has a particularly strong recruitment record in Asia Pacific – with numbers up yet again. In 2012, 29% of our students chose to work in this region after graduation (up from 25% the previous year). Singapore itself continues to dominate, accounting for 44% of graduates employed in Asia Pacific. But the range of countries is widening every year. In 2012 it was good to see Japan and Malaysia figuring in the statistics.
Although our Abu Dhabi Campus does not host an MBA class, INSEAD’s presence and reputation in the region is having an impact on MBA recruitment. In 2012 11% of graduates chose to work in the Middle East or Africa (up from 7% in 2011). The UAE received 51% of them, with Lebanon also figuring strongly – accounting for 16% of recruits to this region.
Percentage increases in Asia Pacific and the Middle East inevitably mean falling recruitment in other regions. The year 2012 saw recruitment to Western Europe decrease significantly – down from 41% of INSEAD recruits in 2011 to 34% in 2012. Perhaps reflecting the leaner finance sector and changes in immigration rules, the UK saw the biggest fall in recruitment. However, at INSEAD we see the continued rebalancing of career destinations towards the east as positive – and a reflection of our ever-strengthening position as The Business School for the World.

Career Changes
INSEAD’s classes of 2012 continued the school’s proud tradition of career change. This year 85% of those who completed our careers survey reported changing sector, function or geography, while 24% achieved the considerable feat of changing all three.
As was to be expected, many of those who had worked in finance before INSEAD went on to pursue a career in a different sector. Only 39% returned to their original industry, compared to 57% the previous year. Instead, 29% of former finance professionals went into consulting (up from 17% in 2011) and 32% joined the corporate sectors (up from 26% in 2011)
In geographical terms, we noted that almost all Brazilians returned home – perhaps reflecting their booming national economy. And 100% of Swiss graduates returned to the mountains, lakes and prosperity of their homeland!

Globally, the graduates of 2012 reported a slight increase in mean and median salaries across all sectors compared to last year. Salaries rose in Brazil and decreased in Germany and Singapore while remaining stable in France, Switzerland and the UK.
There was also a slight increase in the number of people securing a sign-on bonus in 2012: 60% – up from 58% in 2011. However, there was a small reduction in the average amount received in comparison to the previous year. We noticed that sign-on bonuses were particularly prevalent in Australia, Japan, Korea and the UAE, with a much lower percentage of graduates receiving them in Canada, Hong Kong, the Netherlands and Turkey.
The range of salaries – from €17,200 to €199,200 – was similar to previous years, with the highest salary reported being in Northern Europe. Indeed, this was the region where we saw the highest average salary increase, while in Latin America, with the exception of Brazil, there was a marked fall in salary levels.

Building on a long-term trend, 2012 was yet another strong year for the corporate sectors, which accounted for 45% of jobs reported to us (compared to 38% in 2011)
In particular, the energy sector – both traditional and renewables – had a boom year, with double the percentage of students joining this industry compared to last year (13%, up from 7%). Also significant was the growth in the public sector and social impact organizations, with treble the percentage joining this subsector compared to last year (7%, up from 2.5%). Two other key subsectors – consumer & luxury goods and high-tech & telecoms (with 22% and 19% of graduates respectively) – remained stable.
In terms of job functions, we did not see any notable changes from 2011. As in consulting and finance, corporate salaries are up, but only slightly. However, one key trend is the growth in the number of students finding jobs through the cultivation of their own networks, a key career development
skill: 28% this year (up from 23% last year). Similarly, the number of graduates creating their own company, though not an increase over last year, at 8%, remains very high for an MBA programme.
In keeping with geographical trends for other sectors in 2012, recruitment rose in Asia Pacific. This region accounted for 38% of corporate sector jobs (up from 31% in 2011). There was also a rise in the Middle East and Africa – to 8% of jobs in this sector (from just 5% in 2011) – and a fall in Western Europe to 34% of jobs in the sector (from 39% in 2011)
However, within the regions there are also significant trends. Singapore, for example, accounts for 55% of corporate sector jobs in Asia Pacific (compared to 35% the previous year). Meanwhile there was a steep decline in India, which accounts for only 6% of corporate sector jobs (compared to 20% in 2011)

Consulting
Consulting continues to be a popular choice with INSEAD graduates – and in 2012, as finance numbers dwindled, its popularity only increased. This year 41% of graduates reported taking up jobs in the sector, compared to 39% the previous year.
The most notable trend for 2012 in this sector was the big rise in numbers heading for the Middle East and Africa, particularly the UAE and Lebanon. The region was the destination of choice for 17% of INSEAD consulting recruits (compared to 11% in 2011) – putting it on a par with Asia Pacific. Meanwhile, in Western Europe numbers fell. The region accounted for only 31% of global recruitment to this sector, compared to 41% in 2011. This decrease is largely explained by the drop in recruitment to the UK.
Overall, there was a slight increase in the mean and median of both starting salaries and sign-on bonuses in consulting. In fact, salaries in consulting increased in most regions, except for Middle East / Africa and Central / Eastern Europe. Exactly the same as in the previous year, 71% of consulting recruits reported receiving sign-on bonuses.

Finance
The sharp upward trend towards pre-crisis levels of finance recruitment, which had been in evidence since 2009, came to an abrupt halt in 2012. In fact, only 14% of graduates reported joining this sector – down from 23% in 2011 and probably the lowest level we have ever seen. The fall was particularly steep in investment banking, which accounted for 46% of finance recruits in 2011 but only 32% in 2012.
However, the overall decline masks some very positive trends within the sector. We saw more students accepting jobs in asset management, which accounted for 21% of finance recruits (compared to only 10% in 2011). There was also a rise – if slightly less marked – in financial services jobs, which accounted for 24% of finance recruitment (compared to 18% in 2011). Meanwhile, recruitment levels in the much-prized subsectors of private equity and venture capital remained stable. Even within investment banking there were some positive trends. Annual mean and median salaries increased slightly. This was also the only finance sub-sector to achieve a significant level of sign-on bonuses – at slightly higher levels than last year too. And, to finish on an even more positive note, there were quite significant salary increases in asset management, financial services and private equity in 2012.
“INSEAD students come from a wide range of backgrounds, which gives them a unique set of skills.

Summer internships and compensation trends
The outlook for summer internships was very positive in 2012. Around 60% of the December graduating class reported having a summer internship (those graduating in July are not available for summer internships). Furthermore, an impressive 164 companies offered internships to INSEAD participants in 2012 (up from 150 in 2011) – and 26 companies took more than 3 interns.
As in previous years the average duration of internships was seven weeks. Mean and median remuneration was also stable – but covered the usual wide range (from €200 to €13,500 per month).
Despite the fall in full-time finance recruitment, internships in this sector remained stable and accounted for the majority of opportunities in 2012 (34%
of all those who did summer jobs). We also saw a growth in internships within the corporate subsectors that saw an increase in full-time recruitment: energy, primary industries, public sector and social impact. Meanwhile, there were fewer opportunities than in previous years in consumer & luxury goods or high-tech / telecommunications.In terms of regional developments, the most significant growth in internships occurred in Asia Pacific, but the overall geographical distribution of INSEAD summer jobs remained fairly stable in 2012.
From the students’ perspective, the majority used their summer job to gain experience in a new company – and overall satisfaction ratings among interns were very high indeed.

A wide choice of recruiting methods
1,000+ MBA 220+ EMBA 46,000+ Alumni
The Career Development Centre team provides advice and assistance for recruiters throughout the hiring process. We are committed to working closely with organizations to find an INSEAD recruitment strategy that fits their needs.
Recruiters can access 1,000+ MBA, 220+ EMBA and a network of over 46,000 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 (USA) and CEIBS (China) has stabilized. In 2012, 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 a one-hour presentation usually followed by a networking cocktail reception, 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, state-of-the-art video-conference facilities, and the web-based interview-scheduling system on our CareerLink platform.

Participate in a Career FairThe Career Fair is a great opportunity to meet and network with outstanding participants who are interested in posts in Asia, Europe and beyond. It is also a convenient way to build a company’s presence on campus and to meet future key international decision-makers and customers – without engaging the resources required for a formal presentation.
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 user-friendly website, free of charge and viewed by MBA participants on both campuses. The site makes it possible for applicants to respond directly to the recruiting organization. Contact individuals directly through the CV BookThe CVs of our MBA participants are an important recruiting tool, whether companies plan to recruit on campus or by direct contact. For each class, we publish a CV Book, which is also available online 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.

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 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.
