Abstract

Recent theoretical work suggests that vacancy information is important in the job search and migration processes. Empirical research has shown that the way an employer notifies a vacant post and the likelihood of migration are both related to the type of post. Migration has also been shown to be related to the migrant's personal characteristics. However, little empirical evidence exists to relate the way an employer notifies a post to the likelihood of migration, independent of other factors such as post type and age of successful applicant. The effects of this finding for recruitment policies are discussed briefly.
