Business schools launch recruitment website
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Britain's leading business schools yesterday moved to cash in on the huge salaries commanded by their high-flying alumni, with an internet recruitment site.
Led by the London Business School, 15 institutions that offer the MBA degree launched Global Workplace.com. Cranfield, Manchester and Oxford University's Saïd Business School joined London in setting up the service, along with leading institutions from New Zealand, Continental Europe, Singapore, the US and Japan.
Global Workplace will offer a cheaper alternative to traditional recruitment consultants, which typically charge a fee of 17-30 per cent of the annual salary offered.
The internet service, minority held by London Business School's incubator fund, will charge a nine per cent fee, with part of that income going to the alumni's old school.
The balance of the equity is held by a range of private investors.
