EN The Armed Forces, like other employers in the market, are looking for candidates for service and work. They have attributes that distinguish them from employers, and with which potential candidates identify to varying degrees. In turn, candidates for service and work in the military may have different motives: functional, economic and psychological. When comparing information on the conditions offered by employers, they consult people from the organization, and when making a choice, they are guided by their qualifications, competencies, values and job expectations, among other factors. The armed forces, while providing society with a public good such as national defense, also influence the socio-economic situation of the municipalities in which they are stationed.
