We investigate the use of various job search strategies and their impact on the probability of subsequent employment and the re-employment wage among working age men in Britain. We find that replying to advertisements and using Job Centres are the two most common methods of job search and that job search intensity, and direct applications to employers in particular, result in a higher probabili...

This paper quanti es the importance of non-wage job characteristics to workers by estimating a structural on-the-job search model. The model generalizes the standard search framework by allowing workers to search for jobs based on both wages and job-speci c non-wage utility ows. Within the structure of the search model, data on accepted wages and wage changes at job transitions identify the imp...

More and more companies are going to use Internet for their job procurement process, i.e. to search for job seekers and publish open positions. However, common search techniques based on classical keyword search fail to match job seekers with job offers since particular (over-constraint) queries return no answers and search engines are unable to semantically relax such queries.

After finishing school, career starters face the challenge of finding a job. Job search is difficult process because there no clear pathway to obtaining employment. We identify job systematicity, in addition intensity, as an important dimension behaviour that may predict likelihood systematicity defined extent which people have adaptable and persistent rather than volatile fortuitous approach t...

Spatial differences in labor market performance are large and highly persistent. Using data from the United States, Germany, Kingdom, we document striking similarities spatial unemployment, vacancies, job finding, filling within each country. This robust set of facts guides disciplines development a theory local performance. We find that version Diamond-Mortensen-Pissarides model with endogenou...

This research developed and tested a model of turnover contagion in which the job embeddedness and job search behaviors of coworkers influence employees’ decisions to quit. In a sample of 45 branches of a regional bank and 1,038 departments of a national hospitality firm, multilevel analysis revealed that coworkers’ job embeddedness and job search behaviors explain variance in individual “volun...
