From the Director Rising to the challenge – together

With the global economy shaken to its foundations, the second half of 2008 was for us – as for many of you – a challenge. However, I am pleased to report that the outcome, for INSEAD at least, was far better than expected. The diverse and international backgrounds of our MBA graduates, their ability to adapt to the rapidly changing environment, and the support we received from alumni and recruiters all over the world resulted in job offers for an impressive 85% of the 2008 classes – across more countries than ever before. Our experience over half a century has taught us to remain optimistic even in difficult times. Yet we are also realistic and anticipate that the next year or so will continue to present challenges for everyone in the recruitment community. However, speaking on behalf of the team at INSEAD, I would like to say how much we have been heartened in 2008 by the response of our alumni community and the continued support of our recruiter network,

particularly the members of our Corporate Affiliation programme. Our warmest thanks go out to you all. For our part, in 2009 we are, as ever, striving to support our entire network of alumni and recruiters, as well as current participants. Sharing our own market intelligence in the form of this report is just one small part of the service. Thanks to this model of mutual support, I am confident that we can sustain each other through the difficult times and emerge stronger than before. Together, we can learn from the challenge and look forward to an easier road ahead. Warm regards.

Highlights of 2008
Despite challenging market conditions in 2008, 85% of MBA graduates found employment within three months of leaving INSEAD. Building on the school’s international brand, they went to work in over 300 companies and in 56 countries. Indeed, our international reach is wider than ever before. In 2008 12% of graduates accepted jobs in the Near / Middle East region and Africa region – twice as many as in the previous year. And, thanks to our strong presence in Asia, 22% of our MBAs took up opportunities in Asia Pacific. As expected, employment in the finance sector was down on previous years. Nevertheless, thanks to strong hiring in private equity and venture capital (representing 28% of our finance recruitment), as well as financial services (27%), this decrease was smaller than anticipated. Meanwhile, around 40% of graduates went into the industry sector – with the highest representation in manufacturing (21% of industry jobs), hightech and telecommunications companies (17%), followed by energy (10%) and healthcare (9%). Online media and personal networks became a key element of the job search in the second half of 2008. As companies reduced travel spending, registrations on our online platform, CareerLink, increased by 43%, and over 2500 opportunities were posted to the MBA population. It was also a busy year for ‘career treks’, which enable participants to see a selection of companies at first hand. INSEAD’s first ever Career Trek to the Middle East took place in February 2008, followed by the first Carbon Finance Career Trek in the spring. In addition, a wide range of sector treks were on offer: investment banking, media and high-tech, private equity, real estate and energy. Further regional treks took participants to Australia, Japan, Korea, India, Brazil and Ireland. Our traditional role has recently expanded to cover INSEAD’s two Executive MBA programmes for senior managers. We offer career counselling to all participants and full job-search assistance to those who do not have company sponsorship. Currently, we are serving 66 participants on the Global EMBA and 33 on the dual-degree Tsinghua-INSEAD EMBA. Last but not least, in November 2008, we launched an exclusive job board for our 38,500-strong INSEAD alumni community – allowing recruiters to source talent from our MBA, EMBA and alumni populations – at all career stages and all over the world – through the same CareerLink platform.

Job locations
INSEAD’s global footprint is reflected in the career destinations of its graduates. Statistics show that an INSEAD MBA really is a passport to a career anywhere in the world. Over two-thirds of 2008 graduates changed their country of work after attending INSEAD – a unique achievement for a business school. No wonder companies turn to us, year after year, to source global talent for their organisations. In 2008, building on their international background, their multi-cultural management experience and adaptability, our MBA graduates accepted jobs in 56 countries – more than ever before. With new opportunities in emerging markets more MBA graduates accepted positions outside Europe than in 2007 (down 11%). INSEAD’s strong presence in Asia and the Middle East is also a significant factor. Within Europe, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands attracted a significantly higher number of graduates than in 2007, while the proportion of those heading for the UK dropped by 16% as a result of reduced recruitment in the financial sector and tighter immigration policies. Italy and Portugal are now the top Southern European destinations, while fewer participants decided to work in Spain on graduation than in 2007. Beyond Europe, the Near / Middle East and Africa region attracted 12% of graduates – double its 2007 recruitment rate. Asia Pacific continued to grow in popularity, with increased opportunities in Singapore (38% of the jobs accepted in this region), China (14%) and India (13%).

Salaries and sign-on bonuses by region and country
Our graduates accept jobs in a highly diverse selection of countries, sectors and functions. This is reflected in the diversity of their salaries. To allow a comparative analysis, we have included salary information at a regional and national level. Despite the economic downturn, salaries remained more or less stable in 2008 (the average base salary was down 2% on 2007). The apparent fall in US dollar figures is mainly due to currency fluctuations. Compared to 2007, average salaries increased in Africa / Near / Middle East (up by 17%), Central / Eastern Europe (6%) and North America (3%). The country with the most significant annual increase in salary was the United Arab Emirates (up 17%). Overall, salaries ranged from €18,400 to €163,900. The widest regional range continues to be in Asia Pacific – from €18,400 to €150,400. Around 61% of graduates reported sign-on bonuses (down 9% on 2007), but with a significant increase in Central / Eastern Europe (up 35% on 2007). Sign-on bonuses decreased by 20% in Asia Pacific and by 8% in Western Europe, mainly as a result of lower levels of recruitment in sectors which traditionally offer sign-on bonuses. Please note that all salary figures quoted are gross, annual and basic – exclusive of all extras such as fringe benefits or sign-on bonuses. The data should be interpreted in the context of widely differing national employment markets, levels of taxation and costs of living, as well as possible variations in exchange rates.

Career changes
It is clear that INSEAD MBA participants have a huge appetite for change. Thanks to their international experience and renowned adaptability, 87% of INSEAD’s 2008 graduates succeeded in changing their function, sector or country of work on leaving the MBA programme. Nearly 20% changed all three, which is an impressive achievement. Positions in industry gained in popularity not only among former consultants but also among those coming from the finance sector (up 12% on 2007). Almost one-third of finance professionals joined consulting firms on graduation. Compared to previous years, more Brazilian, Portuguese, Russian, Italian, Chinese, Lebanese, American and Indian participants decided to return to their home country after their MBA. On the other hand, a significantly higher number of British and South Korean graduates took up opportunities outside their home country.

Consulting
Recruitment in consulting remained strong in 2008 with 42% of our MBA participants joining the sector, compared to 39% in 2007. While global firms were still the most active recruiters, medium-sized and smaller specialised boutique firms continued to increase their visibility on campus. As a result of the global economic situation, a larger number of MBAs than usual decided to return to their previous employers. In terms of geographical distribution, while 58% of those MBAs who chose consulting joined firms in Europe, other regions attracted a higher number of graduates than in the previous year. The biggest growth can be seen in Africa / Near / Middle East, which accounted for 17% of consulting jobs (up 10% on 2007). In Asia Pacific, the number of graduates working as consultants in China increased by 11%, while numbers in Singapore remained stable. Within Europe, new destinations such as Belgium or Greece emerged as popular. Hiring also increased in Germany and The Netherlands, while opportunities in the United Kingdom, France and Spain continued to decrease. Overall, salaries and sign-on bonuses in consulting remained fairly stable. However, there was a significant increased in Africa / Near / Middle East as well as Asia Pacific.

Finance
Despite the current turmoil in the financial sector, the number of graduates accepting a full-time position in finance decreased by only 10% compared to 2007. Within the sector there was a distinct decline in the number of graduates taking up a career in banking (down from 58% in 2007 to 45%). However, as in previous years, the trend was for offers to be made as a result of summer associate programmes. On a positive note, recruitment increased in financial services (up from 22% to 27%) and private equity (up from 20% to 28%). As expected, fewer graduates with a finance background returned to the sector in 2008 (down from 65% in 2007). Instead, they showed a strong interest in consulting (up from 17% to 26%). In geographical terms, fewer 2008 graduates accepted a finance position in Western Europe than in previous years. The UK was notably less popular, although finance recruitment increased slightly in France. However, there was a large increase in finance recruitment in Asia Pacific, especially India, and Africa / Near / Middle East. Salaries decreased this year throughout the finance sector. As in previous years, the range of salaries is extremely wide. This is largely due to the wide variety of locations where INSEAD graduates choose to work. Only just over half of graduates entering the sector reported the offer of a sign-on bonus (compared to 74% last year). However, the size of bonus seems to be stable, even in Western Europe. As well as assisting participants in their finance job search, Career Services continues to work closely with the Finance Club and IPEC (INSEAD Private Equity Club) across both campuses. Both clubs remain very active and organised career treks for investment banking and private equity to London, Hong Kong and the Middle East in 2008. Private equity and venture capital alumni and professionals came to the Europe campus for the 6th IPEC Conference in May 2008, which was a resounding success, and a number of other speakers came to campus to give specific insights into their industries.

Industry
In 2008, INSEAD graduate employment in industry was back to 2004 levels at 40% (up from 33% in 2007). Within the wide range of sectors covered by the term ‘industry’, there was also a rise in the number of graduates going into manufacturing. Despite this – and a fall in healthcare recruitment – there was no significant overall change in the spread of industries where participants found jobs. As far as job functions are concerned, the number of people going into in-house consulting rose significantly (up from 4% of industry jobs in 2007 to 12%). There was also greater recruitment into general management and production / operations management. Networking remains the key to finding a job in industry (either on campus or externally). In 2008, however, there was a small decrease in the number of participants finding jobs through alumni and Career Services, compared to previous years. This is partly due to the large number who returned to their previous employers (19% of industry recruits), probably in reaction to global economic circumstances. The number of graduates starting their own companies also rose slightly (to 8.5% – up from 6% in 2007). As in other sectors, the number of jobs accepted in Europe fell significantly (from 62% of total industry recruitment in 2007 to 48% in 2008). This can be explained by an overall reduction in recruitment in mature markets and particularly the UK. In contrast, the strong trend towards greater recruitment in Asia Pacific continues – up 6% to 28% in just one year. China, India and Korea showed significant growth, as in previous years, while Taiwan, Malaysia and Pakistan figure prominently in our statistics for the first time. As expected, the regional exception is Japan. Economic factors contributed to a fall in recruitment from 12% in 2007 to just 4% in 2008.

Industry
In 2008 salary levels did not change greatly compared to the previous year. While the mean salary decreased, the median increased. However, the number of graduates reporting sign-on bonuses fell (from 53% to 47%), as did the size of the bonuses themselves. Within individual industry sectors, the broader spread of jobs in energy away from the traditional focus on oil and gas resulted in a wider range of salaries in 2008 than in previous years. Average salaries and sign-on bonuses decreased in high-tech, media and entertainment, but salaries increased slightly in manufacturing and raw materials. Within regions, there are not many significant salary trends to report. Within Europe, 2008 salaries were more balanced between Southern and Western Europe than in previous years. Corresponding to increased employment in Africa / Near / Middle East, there were also higher salaries in that region than in 2007. And in Asia Pacific, salaries in China were down slightly but up in Singapore and India.

Summer internships and compensation trends
With 255 participants reporting that they undertook a summer job, it is clear that internships are continuing to gain in popularity among our December graduating classes (those graduating in July are not available for summer internships). As in previous years the average duration was seven weeks. An impressive 145 companies offered internships to INSEAD participants in 2008 (up from 118 in 2007). And 22 companies took more than 3 interns (the same as in 2007). Around 95% of interns used their summer job to gain experience in a new company (up 2% on 2007) and overall satisfaction ratings among participants were very high. As in previous years, finance internships accounted for the majority of opportunities. The distribution of summer jobs across sectors remained similar to that of 2007. In terms of geographical diversity, Asia Pacific continued to grow in popularity as a destination, with India and China now close behind Singapore. In Western Europe, there were new opportunities in Germany and Belgium, while the number of summer jobs in other countries remained relatively stable.

A wide choice of recruiting methods
The Career Services 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 930+ MBA, 100 Executive MBA and a network of 38,500 alumni through our offices. Identical opportunities to hire INSEAD MBAs are provided twice a year on both of our campuses (Europe and Asia). The MBA participants taking part in campus exchanges between Singapore, Fontainebleau (France) and the Wharton School of Business (USA) is increasing. In 2008 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 campus If 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 videoconference facilities, and the web-based interview-scheduling system on our CareerLink platform. Participate in a Career Fair The 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.

46 INSEAD MBA GRADUATES 2008

Post a job description At any time during the year, descriptions of career opportunities (full-time positions or internships) can be posted on our user-friendly website, CareerLink, free of charge and viewed by MBA participants on both campuses. 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 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 projects The 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 Services sponsored events We 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. Clubs INSEAD has a wide variety of sectorspecific 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 about 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. 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. Career Services 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.
