摘要

我们评估了南非求职者的技能，并传播评估结果，以探索有限的信息如何影响公司和求职者的行为。向求职者提供他们可以可靠地与公司分享的评估结果，可以增加求职者的就业和收入，并更好地调整他们的技能、信念和求职策略。给求职者提供他们无法轻易与公司分享的评估结果，对他们的信念和求职有类似的影响，但对就业和收入的影响较小。只向公司提供评估结果会改变面试决定。这些发现表明，向正确的代理人提供可靠的技能信息可以改善劳动力市场的结果。(j22, j23, j24, j31, j41, j64, j15)

Job Search and Hiring with Limited Information about Workseekers’ Skills

We assess South African workseekers’ skills and disseminate the assessment results to explore how limited information affects firm and workseeker behavior. Giving workseekers assessment results that they can credibly share with firms increases workseekers’ employment and earnings and better aligns their skills, beliefs and search strategies. Giving workseekers assessment results that they cannot easily share with firms has similar effects on beliefs and search, but smaller effects on employment and earnings. Giving assessment results only to firms shifts interview decisions. These findings show that getting credible skill information to the right agents can improve outcomes in the labor market.
