When the economy of a country starts to expand or collapse in wealth, it is reflected in the labor market with an impact on employment and personnel recruitment processes. The aim of this article is to investigate the relationship between personnel recruitment and job market imbalances in the various developmental conditions of the macroeconomic environment. Research findings show that employers tend to adopt more active, formal, competitive, targeted, and selective search behaviors in the positive cycles of the economy and employment. Conversely, in downturns of the economy and employment, employers tend to be more passive and defensive, relying on informal relationships and, in some cases, institutional intermediaries. Research contributions, managerial implications and limits of this study conclude the article.

The present paper mines time-series of job search queries from Google Trends to predict the unemployment rates of Americans between 16 and 24 years of age. The predictive power of Google Trends data is found to be notably higher in forecasting the unemployment rate of Whites compared with Hispanics, as well as African Americans for whom the fit is rather poor. Acknowledging the differences in the opportunity cost of time between the employed and the unemployed, the time-series related to inexpensive online leisure are also retrieved from Google Trends, and the prediction models are augmented by these variables. The analysis reveals that the inclusion of inexpensive online leisure queries in the models significantly improves the out-of-sample prediction for Hispanics. The implications of this study for the use of big data in forecasting unemployment rates are explored.

In this paper, we study the relationship between vacancy duration and information items of a job posting by using generalized linear models and a decision tree analysis w.r.t. the three factors such as company characteristics , employment conditions, and constraints. The results indicate that the employment conditions rather than company characteristics are more influential to the vacancy duration. These effects are presumed to be based on the complex relations between the decisions of the employers and the job seekers. And in this paper we suggest the need to provide personalized and profiled labor market information tailored for a quick decision to job seekers and employers.Policy implication is that since employer's decision affects the vacation duration, employers may had better to provide a comprehensive labour market information including supply and demand of the required skills in order to reduce the time for judgment on the cost-effectiveness.
