Corporates use GMAT scores for Recruitments

Though the primary purpose of the GMAT is to secure your chance of an admission in your favorite school, there is another strong reason for putting your best to get a good GMAT score. Besides B-Schools Admissions Officers, the score you get on the GMAT will reach an audience that might be even more important—job recruiters.

Of course, the GMAT scores are primarily and almost certainly will always be for B-School admissions. But what happens when your score is good enough to get you into the MBA program of your dreams, but not the job of your dreams? For some ambitious students, and some career-focused programs, the answer is simple: You take it again.

For students with strong applications but lackluster scores, some career services directors will advise admitted students to retake the exam.

    I think good Gmat score should deter companies from recruiting that employee because he will sooner or later leave company for a good University call.

    Guys, here the context of GMAT score is its use Post-MBA.Some niche consulting companies like Mckinsey,BCG & some I-Banks call for MBA applicants having a certain cut off.So plz dont bother urself for Indian companies.

    And by the way,Its just a mockery- time pass by HR ppl.After all they need to have ways to reject candidate ,Haana???

    GMAT measures your analytical ability and the capacity for handling different situations that come during real time management work. BTW i have a 740.

    Still the firms are not bothered for the GMAT scores as they go to those B-schools which already have a high median GMAT score and if they are recruting on basis of GMAT scores they may sponsor you for a good Executive MBA programme provided you have to sign a financial bond with them.
