Selection in hiring, in relation to employer characteristics and non-wage job characteristics

Abstract

In the selection of new employees four hiring categories are distinguished: from another job, school-leavers, unemployed and non-participants. Concluded is that for the selection process the labour market situation is less important than the characteristics of employers and jobs. More workers from another job are hired when the quit-rate is high and for skilled work with a high job security and little unpleasant aspects. More school-leavers are hired in establishments with high knowledge intensity and where a vocational education is important. More unemployed workers are hired in case of a relatively low job security.
