Employer Search: The Interviewing and Hiring of New Employees
利用1980年雇主机会试点项目调查数据，分析培训、企业规模和劳动力市场条件如何影响雇主在招聘中的搜寻行为，包括面试人数和招聘时间，并探讨搜寻与工资的关系。
The purpose of this paper is to present new evidence on employer search to fill a position. The study is based on data for recent hires collected in the 1980 Employer Opportunity Pilot Project (EOPP) survey of employers. The paper investigates the effect of factors such as training, employer size, and labor market conditions on employer search. Employer search is measured by the number of applicants interviewed prior to an employment offer and the average number of hours spent by an employer recruiting, screening, and interviewing per applicant interviewed. The paper also documents the relationship between employer search and wages.
