Abstract

How do job-applicants with entrepreneurship experience—“post-entrepreneurs”—fare in the wage labor job market? We propose an “entrepreneurship-experience penalty” generally occurs yet varies in strength depending on the recruiters faced by post-entrepreneurs in their job application process. In an experiment utilizing the selection-decisions of 275 recruiters (experimental study participants) in reaction to objectively-identical job-applicants' resumes whose differences relate to whether their last-held job was as a Founder or as an Executive, we found that: (a) resumes of Founders (compared to Executives) are about 23%–29% less likely to be picked as top-choice for hire, (b) this entrepreneurship penalty is weaker for recruiters with (rather than without) entrepreneurial aspirations, and (c) this recruiter moderator-effect is stronger for recruiters in smaller (rather than larger) firms.

企业家在求职过程中会受到惩罚吗?这取决于谁在招聘

有创业经验的求职者——“后企业家”——在有工资的劳动力就业市场上表现如何?我们建议“创业经验惩罚”通常会发生，但根据后创业者在求职过程中所面临的招聘人员的不同，其力度也会有所不同。在一项实验中，275名招聘人员(实验研究参与者)对客观上相同的求职者的简历做出了选择决定，这些简历的不同之处在于他们的上一份工作是创始人还是高管，我们发现:(a)创始人的简历(与高管相比)成为招聘首选的可能性要低23%-29%;(b)对于有(而不是没有)创业抱负的招聘人员来说，这种创业惩罚较弱;(c)对于规模较小(而不是规模较大)公司的招聘人员来说，这种招聘人员调节效应更强。
