Our Story

MBAroles was founded in 2018 by two MBA graduates who experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating the job market after business school. Despite having degrees from top programs, they found the recruitment process fragmented, opaque, and often frustrating.

They envisioned a platform that would level the playing field—one that would give every MBA graduate access to the same quality of opportunities, regardless of their school's brand recognition or alumni network strength. At the same time, they wanted to help employers look beyond traditional recruiting channels to find diverse, exceptional talent.

Today, MBAroles serves over 50,000 MBA professionals across 150+ countries, partnering with more than 2,500 companies—from innovative startups to Fortune 500 giants. Our AI-powered matching algorithm has achieved a 95% satisfaction rate, and we continue to innovate to make career discovery smarter and more human.

Our Values

These core principles guide everything we do and shape how we serve our community.
