Description
Human capital is a key source of competitive advantage for organizations, and new ventures are not an exception. However, hiring tends to be more challenging for new ventures than for older and larger firms. The emergence and rapid development of online platforms suitable for recruitment alleviated some of those challenges, but many remain to be tackled. The complex dynamics of entrepreneurial labor markets have attracted increasing attention and curiosity among scholars, and recent years witnessed growing research at the crossroads of strategy, human capital, and entrepreneurship. This symposium invites scholars interested in topics related to entrepreneurship and strategic human capital to present and discuss their views on the demand- and supply-sides of the entrepreneurial labor market. By adopting a two-sided approach to the examination of factors related to startups' attraction of joiners, we hope to open conversations and avenues for future research with the objective of shedding light on the multiple mechanisms that contribute to improving the match between founders and high-quality joiners.Papers:
