During the fall, M.B.A. candidates normally lock in jobs for postgraduation the following spring, but that is happening less this year, students and career-guidance offices say.

Companies are dialing back or delaying hiring of M.B.A.s this fall, a sharp turn from the supercharged recruiting seasons of years past. Career officers and students at Yale University, Columbia University and Northwestern University say businesses are spending less time on campus than in recent years to hire second-year M.B.A. candidates, or holding off on job offers. That has students thinking about their Plan B if top-tier companies aren’t making offers.

’s business-school hiring efforts are mostly centered on adding staff at international offices and a few U.S. locations, including Nashville, Miami and Atlanta, according to the firm. Overall hiring numbers will be consistent with prior years, although most new hires will be M.B.A.s who have interned with BCG, the company said. Consultancies that are in hiring mode say they are getting lots of interest on campus.
