Highlights of 2011INSEAD’s graduating classes were as diverse as ever – with 86 nationalities, 33% women and an average of 5.5 years’ experience across many sectors.
Graduates’ career destinations were as diverse as their origins: 41% Western Europe, 25% Asia Pacific (both roughly the same as last year), 9% North America (up from 8% last year), 7% Africa/Middle East and 7% Latin America. The most significant increases were in those opting for jobs in Brazil and India.
Perhaps the most interesting increase, however, was in the number of new graduates starting their own company – up from 3% in 2010 to 8% in 2011. This reflects INSEAD’s strong reputation and range of activities in entrepreneurship – including, in 2012, the first “Entrepreneurial Careers Corner” at our Career Fairs.
In 2011, 82% of our graduates changed their career in terms of job function, geography and/or industry (and 23% changed all three). Base salaries reflected the wide range of career destinations and currencies – ranging from €10,600 to €250,000. And though mean salaries decreased slightly across most sectors, mean sign-on bonuses were up slightly.
Our targeted CV books continue to play an important role, as do our other recent innovations, such as use of social media and support for student clubs’ “career treks”. These are just a few of the initiatives that contributed to a successful year despite a challenging employment market.
From Career Services A school that mirrors the global economyAfter a year of record-breaking success in 2010, we watched the economic storm clouds gather over Europe in 2011 with some trepidation. But the beauty of INSEAD is that it is a truly global school with truly global employment opportunities. While recruitment to Southern Europe fell, we saw a surge in the BRIC countries, a small increase in North America and stability in Western Europe. As a result, we were only just short of our 93% record – with 92% of graduates reporting employment within 3 months of graduation across 64 countries and 455 companies.
Another global trend reflected in our statistics is the increased use of social media by all involved in the recruitment process. In fact, we’re pleased to report, Careers_insead@twitter is now avidly followed throughout the world!
In 2011 too, we did set one new record. A staggering 98% of graduates responded to our survey.
But, as ever, this report is really a testimony to the talent of INSEAD students, the strength of our Corporate Partners and the power of our global alumni network. We would like to thank them all for their contribution to a near-record year in 2011.

A World of TalentOne 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 across the globe.

• The alumni network includes Chairmen, CEOs, and other senior level directors at a large number of global companies including LVMH, L’Oréal, Power Corporation of Canada, Roche Holding Ltd, Danfoss, Statoil, Heineken, AON, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, BASF, Sanofi-Aventis, McKinsey & Company, Rio Tinto, Siemens, Prudential Plc, Lloyds Banking Group, Groupe Galeries Lafayette, L’Occitane International.
An intensive preparation for a successful careerINSEAD graduates do not just offer recruiters the latest business insights. They bring stamina, teamwork, entrepreneurialism, organisational 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, Organisational 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.

10 INSEAD MBA Graduates 2011
INSEAD’s reputation as “The Business School for the World” is built on the diversity of our graduates’ career destinations and the global reach of our alumni network – over 43,000 in 160 countries. In 2011, our record was as impressive as ever. More than 450 companies in 64 countries recruited our graduates.
Our twelve-year presence in Singapore makes us notably strong in Asia Pacific. In 2011, as in the previous year, 25% of our students went to work in this region. We saw a particularly big increase in those choosing to work in India – from 6% in 2010 to 14% in 2011.
On the other side of the world, there was a slight rise in the percentage of graduates recruited to jobs in North America – 9% compared to 8% in 2010 – perhaps reflecting economic recovery in the region. In contrast, but also reflecting the pattern of the global economy, there were significant decreases in the numbers working in Italy, Spain and Portugal. Only 5% of graduates obtained jobs in Southern Europe, compared to 7% in 2010.
The numbers recruited to Western Europe and Latin America remained stable in comparison with last year. A decrease in France was balanced by increases in UK and Germany. And Brazil was by far the most popular destination in Latin America, accounting for 45 students (compared to 27 in 2010).

Career changesIn 2011, true to past form, INSEAD MBA participants demonstrated their extraordinary capacity for change. An impressive 82% of graduates succeeded in changing their function, sector or country of work – and 23% changed all three at once.
The statistics reveal a few new trends. More former finance professionals joined the corporate sectors (up from 20% in 2010 to 26% in 2011) and fewer went into consulting (down from 25% to 17%). Similarly, we saw more people returning to the corporate sector (up from 55% the previous year to 58%) and fewer former corporate-sector professionals took jobs in consulting (down from 35% to 32%).
In geographical terms, we noted atendency for Australian, Bulgarian, Israeli and Portuguese students to take jobs away from home, while Brazilian, Singaporean and Swiss students were more likely to return to their home countries.

How salaries have evolved: comparison over 5 years in local currency (median salary)
Compensation trends by region and country All of the data below (and indeed INSEAD’s position in the MBA rankings of the world’s media) should be interpreted in the context of widely differing national employment markets and variations in exchange rates. Thus, although the average salary decreased slightly in 2011 (and average sign-on bonus increased slightly), there are strong regional and sector-specific counter-trends.
Overall, base salaries ranged from €10,600 to €250,000 in 2011. The mean was €86,200 (compared to €87,400 in 2010) and the median was €84,500 (compared to €85,000 the previous year). As far as specific key recruitment markets are concerned, salaries remained stable
in the USA while they increased in France, Germany, Switzerland and the UK and decreased slightly in Singapore.
In 2011 58% of students received a sign-on bonus (fractionally down from 59% in 2010) – with a higher percentage reported in Korea and Italy and a lower percentage in Hungary, Germany, Spain and Switzerland.
Please note that all salary figures quoted are gross, annual and basic – exclusive of all extras such as fringe benefits and sign-on bonuses. Levels of taxation and costs of living are as variable as the employment markets themselves.

Corporate sectors2011 was another strong year for recruitment into the corporate sectors, which accounted for the employment of 38% of INSEAD graduates, compared to 36% in 2010. More specifically, it was a boom year for high-tech / telecoms (23% of graduates, up from 14% in 2010) and primary industries, such as agriculture (7% of graduates, up from 4% in 2010).
In terms of job functions we saw an increasing number of students going into corporate planning and business development. There was also a rise in the number of graduates who created their own company.
In addition, there were some notable geographical trends. The percentage of students going to work in the corporate sectors in Latin America doubled in 2011 (from 4% to 8%). Meanwhile the equivalent percentage fell significantly for Southern Europe (from 8% in 2010 to 2% in 2011). Within Asia Pacific, India accounted for a full 20% of those going to work in the corporate sectors.
After a year of big salary increases in 2010, there was a small fall in the overall mean salary for the corporate sectors (from €81,500 to €80,000). However, there were significant salary increases in high-tech / telecommunications and media / entertainment, while salaries in construction and energy / petroleum decreased. The number of students receiving sign-on bonuses remained stable at 51% with the median sign-on bonus increasing slightly (from €14,200 to €15,000). The highest average sign-on bonuses within the sector were found in consumer & luxury goods.

“With a broad diversity of backgrounds, INSEAD is an important MBA recruitment pool for BCG. Here we consistently find many exceptional candidates with sharp analytical minds and strong leadership capabilities. BCG is looking for smart people who have the drive, passion, curiosity, and humility to work in client service – and that is exactly who INSEAD attracts.”The Boston Consulting Group
ConsultingAfter an unusually strong year in 2010, when an extraordinary 44% of INSEAD graduates went into consulting, recruitment returned to normal levels in 2011, with 39% joining this sector.
There were no major regional surprises this year, except perhaps that the percentage of students going to France fell slightly, while the percentage going to the UK, Australia and Malaysia increased.
Contrary to the overall trend, the mean and median salaries and sign-on bonuses for the consulting sector increased slightly in 2011. Consulting salaries increased particularly in Australia, Singapore and Switzerland, but decreased in Canada and Brazil. The percentage of students reporting a sign-on bonus remained stable compared to the previous year, at 71%.

FinanceThe upward trend towards pre-crisis levels of finance recruitment continues – from 17% of INSEAD graduates in 2009 to 20% in 2010 and 23% in 2011. Within the sector, there was a particularly big increase in the percentage of students who found jobs in private equity, which now accounts for 17% of recruitment in finance.
The majority of these appointments in private equity were in the UK. Indeed, the UK accounted for 57% of all finance jobs accepted by INSEAD graduates in Europe. This is nothing new. However, the pattern in Asia was particularly interesting in 2011. While finance recruitment fell in Singapore, it increased in Hong Kong and, more notably, in China and India.
Another distinct trend of 2011 was that fewer students obtained senior roles, such as VP or director in finance. In line with this fact, annual mean and median starting salaries dropped across all the finance sub-sectors. In addition, only 46% of students (compared to 51% in 2010) reported receiving a sign-on bonus and, when awarded, sign-on bonuses were lower on average than last year.
The biggest fall in starting salaries occurred in Asia Pacific, where the median was down to €78,000 from €93,000. However, this may be accounted for by the geographical shift towards China and India. In India, the median salary is particularly low for this sector at €59,600. In contrast, finance salaries remained stable in Western Europe and Singapore and even increased slightly in North America and Hong Kong.
“INSEAD remains a leading source for our Associate hiring due to the high quality students that meet our needs for future leaders. INSEAD students have an international mind-set and entrepreneurial flair which corresponds with our culture, values and footprint across the bank.’’

By Sector Total 281Summer internships and compensation trendsAround 56% of the December 2011 class reported having a summer internship (those graduating in July are not available for summer internships). As in previous years the average duration was seven weeks. An impressive 150 companies offered internships to INSEAD participants in 2011 (up from 145 in 2010) and 22 companies took more than 3 interns. The majority of students used their summer job to gain experience in a new company and overall satisfaction ratings among participants were very high.
As in previous years, internships in financial services accounted for the
majority of opportunities with 32% of graduates reporting an offer in that sector. The number of internships in consulting, consumer & luxury goods and energy grew, while we saw fewer students take up opportunities in healthcare.
The geographical distribution of internship opportunities remained relatively stable, with a small growth in internships in South America and Africa / Near / Middle East. The strong summer associate recruitment in investment banking and consulting offered above average salaries in internships in the UK. Monthly salaries varied widely from €300 to €12,200.

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, 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 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 Services 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.

A wide choice of recruiting methodsThe 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 1,000+ MBA, 150+ EMBA and a network of 43,000 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 and Kellogg School of Management (USA) has stabilized. In 2011 around 71% 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. 1,000+ MBA,
150+ EMBA & a network of 43,000 Alumni

Important INSEAD recruiting guidelinesNon-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 and Kellogg. 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.
