If you regularly recruit MBAs, you probably have a shortlist of business schools where you are quite active - connecting with student clubs, attending career fairs, interviewing on campus, etc. You probably also have another list of schools where you remotely brand your company and post your jobs in order to receive applications from suitable and interested candidates.
The more experienced you are in MBA recruiting, the more familiar you would be in the importance of timing and that the earlier you engage with candidates, the stronger and cheaper it is to build your employer brand, and to identify the ones to whom you should dedicate your limited time and resources.
For these reasons, you do not want to wait until candidates apply to know who is interested, in what type of position, in what geography (if applicable), etc. Your competition is already all over the place by that time. You really would like to know this as soon as possible as it would help you maximize your impact where you go on campus and to engage, even remotely, with other candidates where you are not on-campus.
As you may know, we are passionate about helping employers recruit the right candidates for them, efficiently and effectively. It is therefore quite natural for us to launch the MBA Radar – a tool for candidates to express their interest in selected employers very early in the recruitment process. Reciprocally, it helps employers identify these candidates before they apply, sort them by school or by their answers to custom questions, send targeted emails, and much more. It is a great and very affordable tool to manage and export the candidate pipeline and leverage limited recruiting resources.

Just an observation to augment this nice article. In many cases, there are reasons of geography (work permit regulations) when candidates take time to apply. The hiring company does not make it clear if they are going to sponsor fully or part of the work permit process. You will find that the candidates who are completely clear of their working status are the first ones to apply (even if they are not clear of their job roles!).
