Exec-appointments.com is launching a new service to bring together MBA graduates from leading international business schools and key senior executive recruiters.

MBA-Direct.com will provide a resource for business schools to link their MBA students and alumni, at every stage of their career, to recruiters of MBAs.

Betty Thayer, chief executive of exec-appointments.com, says: “Through MBA-Direct, business schools will be able to help past and present students to find the best jobs available. MBA graduates, at any point in their career, will be able to use the service as part of their job search. And recruiters and corporate companies will have access to the current crop of students as well as those with postgraduate MBA experience.”

MBA-Direct will also carry information on career development and contacts for major MBA recruiters, as well as news, surveys, coaching and development programmes and interview tips.

“It’s an ambitious project but one that we think is genuinely needed by the MBA community. MBA-Direct will provide a valuable and relevant platform for all those interested in MBA careers and development, as well as recruiters and corporate companies looking to attract MBA talent.

“We’ve had a very positive response from business schools who recognise the need for an authoritative and up-to-date service,” added Thayer.
