QS Surveys

Find out about all the QS surveys, who can participate and how it all works

The survey is conducted annually. MBA recruiters from around the world are invited to participate via a number of different channels:

QS Databases

Respondents from previous years and QS own database of recruiters and employers are invited to complete the questionnaire.

Media Partners & Job Sites

In order to deliver the QS World MBA Tour, Connect 1-2-1 and QS TopMBA Scorecard, QS partners with a great diversity of partners around the world. Some of these partners operate databases of employers in their own countries and regions and are equally curious as to recruitment trends and recruiters' opinions. Partnering with QS enables them to understand how their own local ad regional markets compare with other parts of the world. If you work for an organisation that has a strong database of local and/or regional employers and would like to get involved please write to marcomms@qsnetwork.com.

Business School Lists

QS invites business schools to supply lists of recruiters with whom they work. This process takes place between February and April each year. Whilst a recruiter supplied by any given business school is perhaps more likely to value them highly - they will also put forward other schools and since over 50 business schools supply lists each year and bias is eliminated. If you work for a business school and would like to ensure that your school supplies a list for the survey then please write to tmc@qsnetwork.com.

The QS World MBA Tour visits over 60 cities in over 40 countries each year attractiving over 50,000 prospective MBA Applicants. They are all invited to complete a survey in December/January each year and various reports and output emerge through the year. This survey also servers as a pre-requisite for QS Scholarships and can be completed at www.topmba.com/scholarships
