Pretty Vacant: Recruitment in Low‐Wage Labour Markets
研究英国五家低工资企业招聘过程,发现应聘者数量少,工作待遇影响应聘人数,但企业最终能填补几乎所有空缺;非在职应聘者更难获得面试机会。
This paper is a study of the process by which employers in five relatively low‐wage British firms fill vacancies. It studies the determinants of the number and quality of applicants, the way in which these applicants are selected for interviews and offered jobs. The main conclusions are that thenumber of applicants is relatively small, the monetary and non‐monetaryaspects of jobs are important determinants of the number of applicants forjobs, but that firms do eventually fall virtually all vacancies. Non‐employedjob applicants have more difficulty in getting a job interview than those whoare currently employed but, once interviewed, do not appear to face any further difficulties in getting employment.
