In 2015,as much as 85% of companies worldwideclaimed that they would hire recent MBA graduates, according to a report by the US-based Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC). “The proportion of employers seeking new business schoolgraduates has grown steadily in recent years”, the report states, adding that job-seeking MBA graduates are facing their best prospects “so far this decade”.
