Vacancies and the Recruitment of New Employees
利用独特的微观数据，分析雇主填补职位空缺的搜索策略，发现几乎所有空缺都在发布后短期内形成的申请人池中填补，因此空缺持续时间应视为选拔期而非搜索期。
Little is known about the search strategy that employers use in their efforts to fill job vacancies. In this article, we analyze unique micro data to study this search strategy. We conclude that almost all vacancies are filled from a pool of applicants that is formed shortly after the posting of the vacancy. Hence, vacancy durations should be interpreted as selection periods and not as search periods for applicants.
