How we work with employers
Henley stands out on the global stage for its extensive reach. We boast remarkable talent, recognising the pivotal role of the right individuals have in fostering your business's growth. As a respected international business school, with a network spanning over 106,000 alumni across 167 countries, we offer a diverse pool of students eager for professional opportunities.

Interested in recruiting our students?
As a careers team, we take pride in nurturing their personal and professional growth, and like to work closely with employers to understand your recruitment requirements and company culture to ensure our students are a great fit for your organisation.
Early Talent Recruitment - Engaging with our students
Our team organises different types of events for our Undergraduate and Masters students to engage with each semester through the academic year taking both place in person and online, including webinars, frequent industry insight sessions, and our flagship annual Placements Fair. These are a great way to get initial access to our early talent and your build brand awareness with them.
Event attendance and promotion are a complimentary service for employers, along with postings for job opportunities which we share with students via My Jobs Online, our weekly Henley Careers newsletter, social media channels exclusive to our students, and promotion within the Henley Business School building directly for our students to see.
Experienced Talent Recruitment
We develop ethically grounded leaders with a strong sense of responsibility, supported by deep industry connections and an engaged business community.
Our students are confident, values-driven and unafraid to challenge the status quo. Responsible leadership and making business better are embedded throughout their studies.
Our MBA programmes develop exceptional leaders who think and act with clarity, confidence and conviction. Personal and professional development sit at the heart of the MBA, and organisations can engage our students through consultancy projects and experienced-hire opportunities.
