The Wharton Difference

1. Immediate Value
Wharton MBA students have the analytical skills, strategic thinking, and breadth of knowledge to hit the ground running in any industry. As a measure of their satisfaction, businesses that hire Wharton MBAs in one part of their organization often return in future years to hire in additional areas.

2.Wide-Ranging Talent
The diversity ofWharton students—in their varied backgrounds, work experiences, and fields of expertise—gives you more opportunities to find just the right match for your company.Many of our MBA students are international, offering a rich perspective to U.S.-based companies, especially those expanding around the world or into new and developing markets.

3. Flexible Recruiting Services
On-campus recruiting is just one way to hire at Wharton.Many companies find excellent candidates through our convenient and widely-used MBA Job Board. Others use the Wharton Resume Book to search for individual students by background.

4. Innovative Career Programs
Companies can meet potential hires through such distinctive Wharton programs as the Global Immersion Program, the Field Application Project, and Global Consulting Practicum courses. Wharton also offers annual Career Treks, which introduce students to opportunities at more than 150 companies in nearly two dozen cities around the world.

5. Internship Opportunities
Hiring an intern can be a great way to get to know Wharton’s student pool and recruiting services, especially for a company new to Wharton. A business that hires a Wharton intern often hires him or her on a full-time basis and then returns to Wharton to fill its needs in other areas.

Recruiting at Wharton

As you begin to plan your recruiting strategy, please contact your Recruiting Relationship Manager, who can assist in fulfilling your hiring needs (see Career Management Team contact list on the inside back cover). Below are a variety of resources to help your company develop a strategy and link to talent for full-time, summer, and advanced-level positions. More details can be found in the employer section of our website at http://employer.wharton.upenn.edu.

Recruit Wharton Talent.

MBA Job Board The Wharton MBA Job Board is a free online job posting board that allows employers to access 1,600+ full-time and executive MBAs, as well as thousands of Wharton alumni who register for our services. The job board is the best way to reach out to Wharton alumni for more senior-level positions.

Resume Drop Online resume drops enable your company to easily access candidates without coming to campus.We will advertise your company’s open position, collect resumes, and send you a file with resumes and cover letters of interested students. After reviewing the resumes, you may conduct phone or video conference interviews, invite students to your office location, or interview on campus.

Resume Book To gain access to MBA candidates and help you identify active job seekers, MBA Career Management offers the Wharton Resume Book. Resumes are available in hard copy and electronic, searchable format for both the first- and secondyear classes.

Develop a Campus Presence.

Second-Year Networking Expos Second-Year Networking Expos are open forums that provide employers with maximum exposure to second-year students. Because second-year students have had ample time to do industry research, and are consequently more targeted in their job searches, the format of the Networking Expos focuses on direct student-employer interaction rather than broad informational presentations. Companies targeting second-year students may participate in either a Networking Expo or a combined first- and second-year Employer Information Session.

Employer Information Session An Employer Information Session (EIS) is an educational presentation that allows companies to share information about opportunities for MBAs, as well as possible career paths. Companies who are targeting both firstand second-year students can hold a Combined EIS (a presentation for first- and second-year students), or alternatively, participate in a Second-Year Networking Expo and hold a first-year only EIS.

Interviewing Interviewing on or near campus provides a great way to maximize exposure to Wharton talent. It is an efficient method to assess multiple students’ skills and interests. Interviews can be held on or off campus at a location of the employer’s choice. There are no fees associated with reserving on-campus interviewing space or conducting on-campus interviews.

Meet Wharton Students at Your Location.

Career Trek Program Treks are student-managed visits to companies in various U.S. and international cities for the purposes of education and networking. The goal of the Trek Program is to provide students access to companies or divisions that may not recruit on campus, while building industry knowledge and fostering a stronger job search network. This program also allows companies the opportunity to access Wharton talent and build a stronger relationship with the Wharton School.

Video Conferencing MBA Career Management has the capability to facilitate video interviewing via ISDN and IP connections in Philadelphia and San Francisco, if you are not able to make the trip to campus. Similarly, you may use our facilities at either campus location to interview a student at the other location.
