Which Are The Most Preferred Consulting Campus Recruiters? – InsideIIM Recruitment Survey 2016 – Part 11

It’s time to reveal our findings. This is year 5 of our Recruitment Survey and Recruiter Rankings.  The only platform that provides insight into what students and management professionals think. We look at their aspirations and motivations. We also come out with lists of the most desired recruiters across top business school campuses in India. These findings are based on surveying over 1200 students who answered over 25 questions in our questionnaire.

Mckinsey, BCG and Bain have been the top 3 firms among the aspirants and 1st year students since the inception of these rankings in 2012. Bain hires only from IIM ABC where as the other two have shortlisted a wider range of schools to choose from. Deloitte is a popular recruiter across schools and edges A.T.Kearney for the second year running. The other names are predictable and play musical chairs within the top 10.

Current Students

BCG is back again at the top after a couple of years edging Mckinsey & Co. and Bain & Co. Accenture and A.T.Kearney have gained to enter the top 5 among this category of respondents too. TSMG is another winner in this year's rankings entering the top 10 among current students.

Post MBA Professionals

Bain gains over BCG among Alumni and Mckinsey retains the numero uno position. Again we see A.T.Kearney and Accenture improve upon last year's rankings. Clearly, something has been done by the firms to have seen an improvement across the board among all 3 categories of respondents. Interesting to see the contrast in perceptions for Deloitte, EY when compared to rank list of Aspirants and 1st Year students. Olivery Wyman also features only in the Alumni list.
