Abstract
The article presents a job choice model allowing to measure the importance of items of employer images in a multi-stage decision process. Based on scientific research a model for the multi-stage decision process is presented that contains details on how decisions are made on each stage. A method using logistic regression to empirically validate the model is described and compared to an alternative method. The results of applying the method are presented and discussed.
