Abstract: Abstract ELECTUS is a multi-centre research project with the aim to stabilize the relationship between universities and companies. Through this project, it is possible to acquire information about procedures for the entrepreneurs’ choice in the recruitment process of the new graduates. Using a CAWI survey, Lombardy companies with at least 15 employees were asked to manifest their preferences choosing among hypothetical profiles of new graduates with different competencies each other. In this study a Conjoint Analysis is carried out to evaluate which characteristics of a graduate’s profile the employers prefer for a potential candidate in the job position of Administrative Clerk. More specifically, in order to detect if there exist subgroups of employers having homogeneous preferences about such characteristics, a Latent Class Metric Conjoint Analysis is employed.
