<p>@shootastar - Among hundreds of business leaders surveyed in 10 countries, this is a ranking of the schools where they most actively recruit. I’m sure it varies somewhat according to degree (e.g. it wasn’t a survey of theatrical casting directors, where Northwestern would probably rank even higher), but in any case it’s interesting and clearly demonstrates NU’s worldwide prestige.</p>

<p>"Even though business leaders say that the choice of school is not the only criterion for selecting one job candidate over another, a new survey has found patterns among hundreds of leaders who were asked to weigh in on the schools they looked to first when hiring.</p>
<p>Emerging, a French consulting firm, surveyed employers on which schools they tended to rely on, and on what qualities made job candidates most employable.</p>
<p>Carried out in collaboration with Trendence, a German consulting firm, the survey included hundreds of employers from 10 countries.</p>
<p>… The study is meant to give “universities, recruiters and students the most valuable of tools: a road-tested blueprint of where it’s best to study in order to get a job,” Emerging said as it released its findings. "</p>
