Preemployment Consequences of Job Search and Likelihood of Offer Acceptance Presented: New Orleans, LA, Industrial Relations Research Association of the Forty-Ninth Annual Meeting, January 1997. IRRA Proceedings (1997): 379.

Data from 380 unemployed males participating in the 1986 National Longitudinal Youth Survey were used to examine preemployment consequences of job search and offer acceptances. Though informal methods are generally more likely to result in employment, these methods did not generate more offers or higher salary offers than formal methods, even controlling for individual, occupational, and labor market characteristics. The likelihood of accepting the only offer received was significantly greater for job seekers using prescreening methods, even controlling for the size of the job offer. This was not true, however, among job seekers receiving more than one offer. |
