Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions of employers in the cities of Palmira, Florida, Candelaria and Pradera (Colombia), to recruitment ex-combatants in their companies. A stratified sampling is carried out to know the point of view of the businessmen and to estimate a multinomial logit model. We found that the perceptions of entrepreneurs are polarized with respect to the recruitment of ex-combatants. Sequentially, attitudes regarding the peace process have a negative effect on the decision to hire ex-combatants; however, perceptions about the government's incentive policies show a positive effect on this decision. Additionally, the expectations of the employer’s economic environment and the experience with vulnerable personnel tend to facilitate a positive effect on the hiring decision.
