Leaders for
the Idea
Economy
Welcome to
MBA Recruiting
at UC Berkeley
Dear Employer,
Thank you for your interest in the Berkeley MBA
Program. We have always been committed to producing
innovative leaders, and this year, we have developed a
new strategic plan that will help us continue to deliver
top talent to your firm.
Our mission is to develop leaders who redefine how
we do business. Because of our ideal location, our forward-thinking faculty, and the types of outgoing and
collaborative students we attract, we have long had a
unique culture conducive to developing cutting-edge
leaders. Under our new plan, we seek to define, foster, and build upon
those strengths.
We have determined there are four principles that, taken together, sharply
define us relative to our peers:
• Question the status quo: We lead by championing bold ideas, taking
intelligent risks and accepting sensible failures. This means speaking
our minds even when it challenges convention. We thrive at the world’s
epicenter of innovation.
• Confidence without attitude: We make decisions based on evidence
and analysis, giving us the confidence to act without arrogance. We lead
through trust and collaboration.
• Students always: We are a community designed for curiosity and lifelong
pursuit of personal and intellectual growth. This is not a place for those
who feel they have learned all they need to learn.
• Beyond yourself: We shape our world by leading ethically and responsibly.
As stewards of our enterprises, we take the longer view in our decisions
and actions. This often means putting larger interests above our own.
By taking a stand on these cultural principals that are distinctively ours, we
are able to strengthen our commitment to and invest in our idea of leadership for the new idea economy.
Contents
Tomorrow’s leader will build enterprises powered in every business area
by new ideas put into action. Leaders of this kind define what’s next, for
our markets and for our societies. The Haas School of Business is uniquely
positioned to deliver such leaders.

The Berkeley Advantage
Full-time MBA program
Leading Through Innovation is a mindset that Berkeley MBAs develop
and perfect during their time at Haas. It's a way of thinking and a set of
skills that our graduates will apply to their organizations far into their
professional careers. Berkeley MBAs discover how to seize opportunities,
challenge conventional wisdom, and lead with creativity. The entire
Haas School culture is about fresh thinking and new ideas. This is
Berkeley, after all.
In addition to acquiring an education anchored in the fundamentals
of management, as well as the latest theories and best practices in
business, our MBAs are able to leverage the strengths of one of the
truly great universities of the world—UC Berkeley—and our deep
connections to San Francisco and Silicon Valley—hubs of finance,
discovery and development. When combined with the collaborative,
team-based culture of our programs, Haas produces graduates who
possess confidence without attitude and are ready to make immediate
impacts on the organizations that they join.
In addition to a superb general management curriculum, the Haas
School has numerous top-ranked specialties and concurrent degree
and certificate programs that allow our students to develop in-depth
knowledge and stay on the cutting-edge of new business theories
and applications. Top-ranked specialties include Entrepreneurship,
Finance, Global Management, Health Care, Marketing, Nonprofit &
Public Management, Social Responsibility, Technology, and Real Estate.
Students looking to specialize can earn certificates in Entrepreneurship,
Management of Technology, Global Management, Real Estate, or Health
Management upon the completion of a designated number of courses
and special projects. The Haas School also offers three concurrent
degree programs—a JD/MBA, an MBA/MA in International and Area
Studies, and an MBA/MPH in Health Management.

MBA Program, taught by the same outstanding faculty.
Evening & Weekend MBAs are able to apply rigorous classroom learning
directly to the business environment on a daily basis, giving them a
unique perspective on management theory and practice. Qualified
students participate in summer intern recruiting during their second
year and full-time employment recruiting during their final year.

THE KEY TO RECRUITING SUCCESS
Building Your Brand On Campus
There are many ways to build your company’s presence
on campus beyond traditional presentations, job fairs, and
interviews. With your account manager’s guidance, you can select from
a wide range of options to develop your company’s on-campus brand.
Get Your Leadership Involved
Conferences and Symposia
Student-led conferences are major events at the Haas School. These events
involve the business community as speakers and panelists on a variety of topics.
Conference participants include MBA students, leaders in the business
community, and Berkeley faculty, stuff, and alumni.
Our major conferences include the Haas Diversity in Business Conference,
the Business of Healthcare Conference, the >play Conference, the Asia
Business Conference, the Women in Leadership Conference, the UC Berkeley
Energy Symposium, the Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum, and the Global Social
Venture Symposium.

MBA 2005
Brand Manager
Del Monte Foods
San Francisco, California
A Berkeley-Haas alumnus, Patrick O’Neill
is responsible for growing Del Monte’s fruit
business. He also leads Del Monte’s Haas
recruiting team for both internships and
full-time opportunities.
“Although Del Monte is a big company, it
feels like we are all running our own small
business. Because Berkeley MBA students
are very entrepreneurial, that works well
here. They seem to relish the challenge of
feeling like business owners.
“The Career Center is very responsive to our
recruiting needs. They have a good feel for
the kinds of individuals we’re looking for and
groom the applicants to be well-prepared for
their interviews
“Apart from recruiting interns, I serve as an
industry resource with the Career Center.
During orientation, I led the case workshop
on marketing consumer package goods.
Throughout the year, we’ll do a Faculty Club
presentation and be there on Firm Night. We
also have a ‘day on the job’ program, where
students come to our office, meet people and
learn about what we do.”
Guest Lectures and Industry Topic Courses
Each year, students coordinate a number of industry-specific courses that require
corporate participation to succeed. These classes cover cutting-edge business
topics and help prepare students to lead in those industries. Representatives from
your company can lead a case, offer timely insight into a real business problem,
or share current research.
Become a Corporate Sponsor
As a Corporate Sponsor, your firm can choose from a range of activities that go
beyond typical recruiting events to not only strengthen its campus brand but
also connect with Haas faculty, staff, and alumni. Annual events such as the
Haaski Charity Golf Tournament, the Haas Gala in San Francisco, or the Alumni
Celebration in Menlo Park are superb, high visibility networking events. Or
you can get a jump on recruiting and meet our newly admitted students by
sponsoring Orientation Week or one of our workshops focusing on diversity and
women’s issues. For more information on how your company can raise its profile
at Haas, contact your account manager or Michelle McClellan, Dean of
Development and Alumni Relations (510.642.3182; [email protected]).
Get Your Haas Campus Team Involved
Student Club Event Sponsorship
Students join campus clubs based on their industry, job function, or geographic
preferences. Clubs are an excellent way to identify students who meet your
employment needs. A list of current club contacts is available online at
www.haas.berkeley.edu/MBA/student.
Firm Nights
Firm Nights are an ideal way to reach a targeted audience. These networking
events are organized by student clubs and are industry- or job function-specific.

Site Visits
Inviting students to your workplace not only
provides students an excellent introduction
to your company’s culture, but also serves as
a useful setting in which to identify students
of interest. Contact the appropriate club to
arrange a visit.
Workshops and Panels
The job market moves rapidly, and an
industry perspective is essential to keeping
our students abreast of changing trends. Participating in a skills workshop or
career panel is a great way to build your company’s campus presence while
helping to develop tomorrow’s leaders.
Get Your Haas Alumni Involved
Alumni Industry Panels
Leveraging the Haas graduates within your firm is one of the most effective
ways to strengthen the ties between your company and campus. Alumni industry
panels provide an intimate setting for Haas graduates and current students to
share their insight and experiences. To help you identify your Berkeley MBAs,
we can provide you with a list of graduates who currently list your company as
their employer.
Summer Receptions
For full-time hiring, holding a reception during the summer before a student’s final
year is often a nice way to meet our students before they begin fall on-campus
recruiting. Your account manager can help you reach out to students who are
interning near your offices.
Use Your Intern
Your most valuable on-campus recruiting representatives can be students who
completed summer internships with your organization. Be sure to work with them
to increase your visibility with students.
Promoting Your Involvement
We can list your recruiting activities in CareerNet, our student intranet, where
students can read about your company and sign up for your activities. Your
account manager can help you further promote your event or opportunity to
target specific populations.
Berkeley MBA graduates use Career Services to find
jobs all over the world. Recent alumni working in
London include (left to right) Andre Calcada Bastos,
senior associate at McKinsey & Company; Sanchit

“I interned with a major tech company and
was staffed on electrical Smart Grid strategy—
a complete opposite direction than what I had
anticipated. The work was challenging yet
rewarding. I provided the bulk of the research
and analysis and was given an enormous
amount of responsibility. I thoroughly enjoyed
the conclusion and am excited to see the
results of my work in the daily news as the
company executes its Smart Grid strategy.
“There are just so many very intelligent
people at Haas who are very accomplished. I
am amazed daily at how students tackle difficult problems in class, case competitions,
or daily life. There is an air of willingness to
help that is unlike anything I have experienced. I think amazing minds coupled with
the willingness to lend a hand sets Haas
apart. These are without question the
defining Haas characteristics that enables
Haas grads to empower employers.”

International students from 31 countries
comprise about 30% of the full-time
MBA class at Haas. These students bring
outstanding work experience, academic
accomplishment, multilingual abilities, crosscultural insight, and keen business skills that
produce results across markets and cultures.
Your candidate pool and work force will have
much more depth by including these students
in your recruiting process.
Summer Internships
The vast majority of our international
students study while on an F-1 visa. These
students can accept summer internships
regardless of citizenship through the campus’
Curricular Practical Training (CPT) program.
Work permission is handled by the student
and officials on the Berkeley campus, so
companies and organizations can offer
summer internships to international students
without limitations.

To Be

Summer
2010
Upon graduation, F-1 visa holders can work
in the US for up to 12 months through the
Optional Practical Training (OPT) program.
During this time the employer must file an
H1-B application and pay minimal legal and
application fees. H1-B visas last for three
years and can be renewed twice, up to a
maximum of six years. And, since April 2008,
new hires with an approved H1-B application
may remain employed during the transition
period between the end of OPT (usually in
June) and the start of the H1-B visa (usually
October 1), effectively eliminating any gaps
in employment. For more information, review

look to apply their leadership skills and
business acumen around the globe. With
work experience from around the world in
a wide variety of industries and functions,
our students are ready and willing to

YOUR CHECKLIST FOR RECRUITING SUCCESS
On-Campus Recruiting
Each year, approximately 81% of our full-time MBA student
body takes part in on-campus recruiting. By following this checklist,
your company can select and interview the best candidates in an efficient and
economical manner.
Schedule your On-Campus Interviews
S
We encourage you to work directly with an account manager to schedule your
recruiting activities. This ensures that your process is timed most appropriately for
your target students. When you contact your account manager, please keep the
following information in mind:
Position Title and Description
Firms that provide detailed information about the available positions, as well as
some information about the company and division, consistently receive the most
vigorous response from students.

Application process
We are happy to conduct an opportunity-specific resume and cover letter collection for you. If your HRMS procedures require applications to your website, your
account manager can arrange for this to be communicated to the students along
with your deadlines.
Length of interviews
Generally, firms choose to conduct 30-minute interviews (12 students per
schedule) or 45-minute interviews (8 students per schedule). You may also opt for
rotating interviews, which allow two interviewers to see a single candidate in backto-back interviews.

“I really appreciated that Evening & Weekend
students are able to compete for internships
and jobs on the same level as full-time students. The Career Center provides all the
resources you could ask for.”

Mixed: (Recommended) Pre-select some of your candidates, and allow
interested students to bid for the remaining "open schedule" slots. This allows
you to see both students whose backgrounds more obviously fit your needs as
well as students who will show you their deep interest in your opportunity.
Populating Your Schedule: Resume Drops and Invite Lists
If you choose to conduct invite-only or mixed schedules, we will manage an
opportunity-specific resume drop approximately one month prior to your
interview date. You will be notified by e-mail when your resumes are available
to view online.
Two weeks prior to your visit, you may select your interview candidates online. We
will invite and schedule the students for you. For schedules with open slots, we will
conduct the bid process and award slots to the highest bidders.
Come to Campus
Your final schedule, along with driving directions and logistical information, will
be available online two business days before your interview date. We provide
complimentary valet parking on your interview day. Typically, interviews begin at
8:30 a.m. in the Haas Recruitment Center, room S330. On the day of the interviews,
we suggest that you arrive 15 minutes before your first interview to acclimate
yourself for the day. Upon arrival, you will be provided with an information packet
which includes your updated schedule and resumes of the students that you will
meet. We provide morning coffee and pastries as well as lunch.
Final Rounds, Follow Up, and Feedback
Since firms have varying timetables for advanced interviews, we ask that you
keep students apprised of their status throughout your hiring process. Students
greatly appreciate open communication, regardless of the final outcome of their
candidacy. At the end of your interview day, please be sure to complete our
recruiter survey; your feedback helps us to continue to provide you with excellent
customer service.
The Offer
T
Accepting an offer is the culmination of a student’s time at Haas. It is an important
decision that requires the time to ensure that it is right for both the student and
your organization. For more information on our policies regarding offers, please

Recruiting Guidelines
The Haas recruitment
team strives to make the
MBA recruiting process
as successful as possible
for both our students and
recruiting partners.
We hold our students to the highest
standards of professionalism.
Policies are in place to insure that
students respect your time and effort.
Behavior such as failing to attend an
interview with sufficient prior notification, or, most seriously, reneging
on an accepted offer carry repercussions, up to and including loss of
recruiting privileges.
In turn, we ask you to respect the
following guidelines when recruiting
our students.
1. Confidentiality
Students have consented to make their
resumes available to companies and
organizations through the various
Haas resume books and resume
drops. These are to be used solely
for recruitment purposes.
2. Student Grades
Nondisclosure Policy
In order to foster a cooperative
learning environment, the class of
2011 has adopted a non-disclosure
policy with respect to their grades
and academic honors earned during
their MBA program. The policy calls
for students not to verbally or in
any other way disclose Haas grades
during the first round of the oncampus recruiting process.
If you ask students to apply via your
website, please be aware that this
policy still applies, and students may
skip a question requesting MBA GPA
or enter "0" into that field.
10
This is a student-initiated policy and
is provided as a guideline to our
recruiting contacts. Though students
are free to agree among themselves
not to disclose grades, the nondisclosure policy is not an official policy
of the Haas School of Business. The
administration and faculty believe
that grades are an important source
of information for employers about
potential employees.
3. First-Round Interview
Schedules
We do not condone students missing
class in order to attend an interview,
and we allow students to swap
interview times prior to finalizing your
schedule in order to accommodate
their academic work. Recruiter
changes to a schedule after it has been
published can result in a conflict with
a class time for a candidate and can
negatively impact a student’s academic
work. Please make every effort not to
change your schedule after it becomes
final. In the event that you need to
change your schedule at the last
minute, we ask that you be flexible with
our students and give them the option
to reschedule the interview with you at
a later date.
4. Second-Round
Interview Schedules
We ask that recruiters make every
attempt to provide students with
sufficient notice of the timing of
second-round interviews. We
appreciate your making every attempt
to avoid scheduling conflicts with
students’ academic responsibilities
and recommend that you offer at
least one alternate date for secondround or on-site interviews. Please
notify your account manager of your
proposed call-back schedule as early
as possible so that we can help you
manage potential conflicts with other
student activities.
5. Offer Consideration
and Acceptance
Because of the importance that
employers, students, and the Haas
recruitment team place on accepting
an offer, we strongly recommend
that firms provide sufficient time for
a student to consider an offer.
• Students who have received a
full-time offer should be allowed
until December 10, 2010, or at least
fifteen business days from the date
of the offer, whichever comes later,
to respond.
• Students who have received an
internship offer should be allowed
until March 14, 2011, or at least
five business days from the date of
the offer, whichever comes later,
to respond.
Because we know that your hiring
plans depend on student acceptance
of offers, we coach and encourage
students to respond to offers promptly
and, if possible, prior to these dates.
6. Negative Offer
Terms and Actions
Negative offer terms, such as exploding
offers, requiring students to respond
to verbal (not written) offers, changes
to offer terms, delays in employment
start dates, changes in position roles
and responsibilities, or rescinding an
offer, can do great harm to a firm’s
credibility at Haas and negatively
impact future recruiting. If you find
yourself faced with such a situation
or have any questions regarding this,
please contact your account manager
immediately.

Internship:
Alison Zander’s time at Haas prepared her not
only with the knowledge needed to pursue a
career in Brand Management, but also the
confidence required to make a career change.
“Haas instills a desire for learning within each
of its students. I think this enables Haas
students to be great leaders. We are confident
that we can be successful, but we also
understand that there is still a lot that we can
learn from others. I think this confidence
without attitude is what makes Haas students
stand out as employees.
“Interning in Brand Management at Clorox was
very rewarding. I was given challenging
projects whose outcome was valued by the
firm and got a true look into what a career in
brand management would be like. I also met
some amazing people including my brand
team, Haas alumni, and my intern class.”

Helpful Tips for Recruiters
Choosing Your Corporate Representatives
Interviewers and presenters from functional areas of your organization are ideal
representatives. Students prefer to meet directly with hiring managers during
the interview process. We especially encourage alumni participation, since their
support and enthusiasm are valued by students and corporate staffing alike. More
senior members of your leadership team can often be helpful in later stages and
for closing the deal.
Consolidate Your Recruiting Efforts
You may have several divisions of your company hiring MBAs. Designate one
representative from your company as the Haas team lead to centralize your
recruiting strategy across your firm. The more you combine efforts with other
divisions, the more powerful your on-campus brand will be.

Let students pre-screen themselves by providing a detailed job description. Be
sure to include information on job locations and work authorization requirements.
Include Bidders
A mixed interview schedule allows the employer to select a number of candidates
and also for students to select employers through a bidding process. This way,
companies have a mix of students whose backgrounds fit their needs, as well as
the opportunity to meet students who show a very strong interest in the company.
Parking
We provide complimentary valet parking on your interview days. For other
career-related events, we often provide campus parking permits; check with your
account manager if you have any questions. Even with a parking permit, parking
on the UC Berkeley campus can be difficult. Use public transportation, take a
taxi or a car service, or carpool with other recruiters from your company. You can
find information on local transportation services on page 17 or contact us with
further questions.
Watch the Clock
With a full day of interviews, it is important to stay on schedule. Be aware of your
(or your interviewers’) style and needs, and choose from 30-, 45- or 60- minute
interview slot options.
Follow Up
This is a vital part of your recruiting strategy. Students really appreciate hearing
from a company soon after their first interview, even if they have not made it to the
next interview round. Let them know at the interview what your follow-up process
and time frame will be. It not only provides a good impression with the student,
but also enhances the company’s reputation with the student body.

Traveling to Berkeley
Travelers to Berkeley may fly in to either
Oakland or San Francisco. The San
Francisco International Airport (SFO) is
located on the peninsula south of the city,
across the bay from Berkeley. The Oakland
International Airport (OAK) is smaller and
closer to Berkeley. You can take public
transportation from either airport. A taxi to
Berkeley costs approximately $40-50 from
OAK versus $70-80 from SFO.

While UC Berkeley certainly supports
the use of public transportation, given

recommend the use of a taxi or car service to travel to Haas. For those wanting
