摘要

外包的合同设计搜索公司通常将新员工、房地产或技术的搜索外包给外部代理。与这些代理签订的合同应该是什么样的?在什么条件下，公司甚至应该聘请代理(而不是在公司内部进行搜索)?这些都是Zorc等人在“委托搜索的时间和方式”中研究的问题。作者发现，最优契约支付给代理人一笔按时间计算的费用，以及找到一个可接受的替代方案的奖金。奖金的数额在签订合同时确定，并随着时间的推移而减少。是否外包的决定取决于公司在速度和质量之间的权衡;对于注重质量的公司来说，内部搜索是最佳选择，但外包可以提供更快的速度。

The When and How of Delegated Search

Contract Design for Outsourcing Search Firms commonly outsource search for new employees, real estate, or technology to external agents. What should the contracts with these agents look like, and under which conditions should companies even hire agents (as opposed to doing the search in house)? These are the questions studied in “The when and how of delegated search” by Zorc et al. The authors find that the optimal contracts pay the agent a per-time fee as well as a bonus for finding an acceptable alternative. The size of this bonus is defined on signing of the contract and decreases over time. The decision of whether to outsource at all hinges on the firm’s trade-off between speed and quality; in-house search becomes optimal for a firm that prioritizes quality, but outsourcing offers better speed.
