Client Results

A New York City based company asked us to scout marketing students at Stanford. Historically, they had not been successful hiring students despite making multiple offers. It was expensive and time consuming to launch a full recruiting effort on the opposite coast. The MBA Scouting Report took the company’s very specific screening criteria and identified five Stanford students who were outstanding. The company liked the backgrounds of all five, brought them in for on-site interviews and hired two students. They bought a single report at Stanford, never had to visit campus and had their best yield of any school.

A client asked us to scout students at Duke and ran a test versus their own efforts. The client conducted a full recruiting program including a corporate presentation, and generated a target list of students based on attendance at their recruiting events and a review of resumes. Of the ten candidates we identified in the MBA Scouting Report, six were invited for second-round interviews. They made offers to three and successfully hired all three. From their own schedule, they hired one student and agreed that their strongest hire came from the MBA Scouting Report. Last year when they also ran a full recruiting program, they made multiple offers, and had no acceptances. The client has asked us to scout at Duke again and is proposing that the MBA Scouting Report be used corporate wide.

A client who does not have a summer internship program, asked us to scout women and minority students at Wharton. They believed that they lost out on many strong candidates who were recruited straight from their internship programs. The MBA Scouting Report identified ten students who met the client’s screening criteria and were interested in the type of opportunity the client offered. Although there are no hiring results to report, the client has connected with the students and when geographically possible, will invite them to receptions and other events over the summer. The students have been positively impressed with the company’s outreach efforts.
