Are entrepreneurs penalized during job searches? It depends on who is hiring
研究发现，有创业经历的求职者在求职中会遭受约23%-29%的惩罚，即简历被选为首选的可能性更低，但这种惩罚对有创业意愿的招聘者以及小公司的招聘者较弱。
Abstract Research Summary 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.
