Analysis of online sources of information about vacancies on the regional labor market[Анализ Интернет-Источников Информации О Вакансиях На Региональном Рынке Труда]

Purpose. Analysis of the quality of information provided by employers about vacancies in Internet sources in the regional labor market in terms of relevance, completeness, and reliability of information. Methodological base of the research. The analytic base of the research is formed on the basis of open sources of information about vacancies in the regional labor market of the Kemerovo region. For research, Internet sources of job search were divided into seven groups: corporate sites of companies; sites of recruitment agencies; social networks, blogs, community sites of specialists; specialized commercial job search sites; “Chatbots”; job aggregators; interactive portal of the Ministry of Labor and Employment. The study was conducted in May 2019 and 2020 using traditional methods of generalization, grouping, systematization of data, tabular and graphical methods of presenting information. Key findings. The results of the study showed that a small percentage of vacancies posted on the Internet contain complete and up-to-date information about the job offered. A job seeker in the virtual space risks encountering problems such as “empty” (forgotten) jobs, offers to invest money to earn money, free use of labor, and fraud. The authors have formed requirements for placing information on job search services. A unified form of presenting information about vacancies is proposed. Its use will improve the accuracy and completeness of the information provided about vacancies, which will speed up the search for jobs for applicants and the search for suitable employees for employers. This article will be useful for managers and experts of public employment services, employees of personnel management departments of commercial enterprises and organizations.
