Abstract
This article studies the role of human and social capital in the use of job-search methods of immigrants in the Netherlands. Making use of large-scale data designed to study the four largest immigrant groups in the Netherlands, we show that strong differences exist across national-origin groups. Furthermore, we find that when immigrants have more close contacts with Dutch, they make more frequent use of formal instead of informal methods. Finally, we see that immigrants who are higher educated and who are more proficient in the host-country language use formal methods more often than less-skilled immigrants.
