Abstract

We find that not all employers use on‐line search tools when they post their vacancies on on‐line job boards, even though the tools that are offered by the job boards are free and purportedly facilitate search. Drawing on descriptions of vacancies collected from the on‐line job board Monster.com, we find that the on‐line recruitment and screening tools that are offered by Monster.com are more likely to be used when employers actively engage in search or use the job board frequently. Consistent with a standard search model, both vacancy and employer attributes explain the duration of a vacancy's posting on Monster.com. (JEL J2, M1)
