Top MBAs at Your Fingertips

• volume 2 • number 7

Recruiting talented MBAs can be expensive. Placing national ads or using a recruitment firm is costly, and so is sending recruiters to key campuses across the country. Traditionally, this has meant that smaller, leaner companies have come in second or third in the bidding wars for top talent. But no longer. Now, through the magic of the internet, MBA Central (www.mbacentral.com) offers an easy, low-cost effective way for companies to hire MBA candidates on a nationwide basis. Here's how it works:

Through their Job Cast(tm) service, MBA Central distributes free software to alumni and students at prominent business schools. Schools and individuals can also order the software via e-mail at info@mbacentral.com. Candidates then provide MBA Central with an extensive resume, which includes a personal profile, list of languages spoken, geographical preference, and salary requirements.

Using Job Cast(tm) e-mail, job descriptions are sent to a select group of candidates, and the resumes of interested candidates are instantly delivered to prospective employers. This system not only increases the number of qualified candidates for any particular position, it saves busy interviewers from having to wade through hundreds of mediocre resumes.

This service is free to candidates. Recruiters are charged a flat fee. Please note that MBA Central keeps candidate identity confidential until it receives authorization to deliver a resume. Needless to say, we think MBA Central is an idea whose time has come. Interested? You can reach them at 800-932-4668.
