摘要

在线专业社交平台被广泛使用，可以帮助工人寻找和获得工作。我们进行了第一次随机评估，培训求职者加入并使用最大的平台之一LinkedIn。培训使项目结束后的就业率提高了10%(7个百分点)，这种效果至少持续12个月。现有的就业、平台使用和求职数据表明，就业效应可以通过求职者使用平台获取有关潜在雇主的信息来解释，也可以通过求职者在平台上访问推荐并向潜在雇主传递信息来解释。(j22, j23, j24, j64, m53, o15)

LinkedIn(to) Job Opportunities: Experimental Evidence from Job Readiness Training

Online professional networking platforms are widely used and may help workers to search for and obtain jobs. We run the first randomized evaluation of training work seekers to join and use one of the largest platforms, LinkedIn. Training increases the end-of-program employment rate by 10 percent (7 percentage points), and this effect persists for at least 12 months. The available employment, platform use, and job search data suggest that employment effects are explained by work seekers using the platform to acquire information about prospective employers and perhaps by work seekers accessing referrals and conveying information to prospective employers on the platform. (JEL J22, J23, J24, J64, M53, O15)
