EXCLUSIVE: Inside Harvard Business School's plans for helping students land coveted jobs and internships during the pandemic, including an army of virtual career coaches and a more flexible recruiting timetable
To realize their career ambitions, MBA students have followed a relatively established recruiting pattern in years past.
And while the school has been mulling changes to the process for several years, current circumstances forced Harvard to speed up its plans. This year, students will be able to meet virtually with recruiters in intimate 6:1 groups. These meetings will be roughly half-hour video calls in which students can quiz recruiters on their companies and job or internship offerings.Previously, students in MBA programs might have suspected that most of their peers were receiving offers in January or February, but, in fact, only "30% of our students would have offers" by that point, Fitzpatrick approximated.
That creates significant opportunities with employers whose hiring needs may not be established until as late as, say, April. The assessments determine students' interests and motivators by requiring them to choose between criteria like working in environments that present "consistent intellectual challenge," or being "recognized with praise from peers and superiors," among other things.
