"Labour shortages are a field of research that has been investigated quite thoroughly. The reactions of firms facing problems during the hiring process are, however, largely neglected in empirical literature. Our research will fill this empirical gap and shed light on the question of whether...

"In recent years, macroeconomic data on job vacancies are increasingly in the focus of interest. This is due to the fact, that administrative data on job openings do not cover the macroeconomic information, neither in their structure nor in their extent. In Germany, this gap can be bridged by...

"By using multinomial logistic regressions we try to chase up determinants of the course of recruitment processes. With the aid of a disjoint typology we analyse three types of successful hiring processes on predicting characteristics e. g. of the position to be filled and of the searching firm....
