Targeted Jobs on Niche Job Boards

Even in this economy, with the exponentially growing demand for jobs, fascination and qualification remain important factors for a job-seeking MBA. Technologies today allow everyone to find job openings, but are those jobs the best match for the job-seeker? Mass job posting websites, career service portals, and social media sites combined have thousands-to-millions of jobs. The problem is these sites do not have targeted jobs on niche job boards intended specifically for elite MBA talent. Right now 80% of MBA employers' full-time hires are interns, and 40% of these Fortune 500 companies are still blocking social networks, making it a much more difficult task to find the jobs you not only want and need, but especially difficult to find those perfect matches. MBA Focus is an exclusive network of the best companies and best candidates from the best schools in search of the best match! The MBA Focus MultiPost job network brings exactly the jobs MBAs want and deserve directly to them.

Search through high-quality MBA-required or MBA-preferred jobs intended for elite leadership talent from the top business schools in the world. Looking for opportunities in management, consulting, finance, marketing or accounting? Want to work for companies like Adobe, Amazon, American Express, Avery Dennison, Ernst & Young, Johnson & Johnson, and Novell? Check out your job board powered by MBA Focus today! http://www.mbafocus.net/alumni

So Which is Most Effective: Resumes or Job Postings?

If done correctly, resumes AND job posting are the most effective. While resumes allow you to get deeper and more hands-on in the recruiting process, MultiPost job postings can do that work for you. Searchable resume books will help you find the best candidates and the best matches "on paper." But job postings will bring you the candidates who are actually interested in your job opening. And even in this economy, with the exponentially growing demand for jobs, fascination and qualification remain important factors for a job-seeking MBA. Candidates aren't just looking for any job, they still want their dream jobs. By combining resume searches and MultiPost job postings, you can find the candidate that is that perfect match.

Expand Your Talent Search to Find the Perfect Match

Employers need to ask themselves: "Are we missing out on some very talented, very experienced candidates in these other MBA populations?" The answer is yes. Over the past few years, the gap has closed between the full-time MBA student and these experienced part-time, evening, executive and alumni MBAs. Companies are sitting on an amazing pool of talent. And it's reachable though MultiPost job postings and in searchable online resume books powered by MBA Focus. These resume books and job boards are invaluable because you can filter and search that talent so you don’t receive thousands of unqualified applicants like you would on a mass job posting website. Find exactly the talent you need quickly and effectively. Remember, it's not campus recruiting vs. experienced-hire recruiting; it's: "How do we get the best candidates faster, cheaper, easier and more effectively?"

The technology is here, and its cheap -- you should use it, can use it, and could hit a lot more candidates than you ever could using traditional MBA recruiting techniques. Virtual recruiting allows you to streamline the process and forget about the traditional routine. Now is the time to jump on the bandwagaon. Don't get left behind. Avoid being old-fashioned. Don't be stuck in your ways. You ARE missing out on some very talented, very experienced candidates! Go to MBA Focus today: https://www.mbafocus.com/orders

Post Jobs to Top 50+ MBA Programs at Once

The new MultiPost Job Network, which launched December 1, 2008, enables you to immediately broadcast job openings to MBA students and alumni in the MBA Focus network of globally ranked MBA programs –including nearly all U.S. News 2008 top 20 “best business schools” – with one single entry.

Use MultiPost to instantaneously post open positions directly to thousands of highly-qualified candidates from more than 50 top-ranked graduate business schools in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Without MultiPost, you would have to complete a job posting form for each program – a process so time-consuming that employers often hire temporary staff to manage it.

MultiPost brings a new level of ease and cost-efficiency to the posting process, enabling employers to reach top talent for positions and increasing the number of jobs posted directly to the type of candidates who can fill them. It benefits mid-size and large employers as well as MBA career services offices and the students (including part- and full-time students as well as students in executive MBA programs) and alumni they serve.

To encourage the maximum number of suitable job postings for its school partners, MBA Focus charges only a nominal convenience fee for use of the MultiPost Job Network. For-profit corporations pay $195 per posting; search firms pay $295; and it only costs $95 for non-profit organizations.

Jobs can be posted to all or specific schools in the MBA Focus network for the single fee, either through a school’s job-posting page or a link on the MBA Focus Web site, www.mbafocus.com/orders.  The schools and/or MBA Focus monitor all postings for suitability before placement on job boards.

“The MultiPost Job Network service is in strong alignment with our company mission,” said MBA Focus Chief Executive Officer Gregory A. Ruf. “Our charge is to develop advanced technologies and services that will elevate MBA recruiting; MultiPost is a unique technology that enables employers and recruiters to easily and affordably announce positions to top talent from the world’s leading MBA schools. We are extremely excited to deliver this capability both to our employers and the schools we serve.”
