"Following microeconomic theory, every vacancy should be filled by appropriate manpower after a certain time. However, from an empirical point of view it is evident that vacancies remain unfilled as establishments cancel their search for a suitable applicant. The German Job Vacancy Survey (JVS)...

"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....
