Dual-Barrier Hiring Frictions
"Only the combination of both promotional advertising and identification verification led to more hiring by the firms. By contrast, providing a larger candidate pool or the identity verification alone had no measurable impact on hiring by firms."
Firm-Scale Heterogeneity in Digital Platform Adoption
"While large firms (more than ten employees) also increased engagement in the combination and advertising treatment groups, small firms (less than ten employees) increased engagement only for the combination group."
Informal Network Non-Displacement Effect
"Firms in the combination group also successfully filled more vacancies overall because they did not reduce the number of people hired through traditional networks, even as they hired more candidates from the online portal."
Joint Complementarity of Scale and Verification Intermediaries
"Firms assigned the combination of services were 8 percentage points (68 percent) more likely to hire someone from the portal than the firms in the comparison group."
Post-Probation Match Durability
"Six months later, and after the standard two-month probation period, firms in the combination group were 11 percentage points (73 percent) more likely to be employing a worker they had hired on the online portal."
Relational Trust Deficit in Entry-Level Hiring
"Over two-thirds of firms reported that challenges with recruiting employees were a key barrier to growth, and over half (53 percent) stated that trust was a major concern when it came to hiring."
