Even the hallowed Harvard Business School was not immune to the recruiting slowdown, but it weathered the storm better than most. Slightly less than 1 in 10 Harvard grads did not report receiving a job offer within three months of graduation, a sharp increase from 2007, but better than the placement rates at all but two other schools. Signing bonuses fell from 76% of those with jobs in 2007 to 67% in 2009.
