What is the best website for recruiting?

Do employers form higher‐quality matches at a lower cost when they hire via websites such as corporate websites, specialized sites, generalist sites, or the site of the public employment service (PES)? Based on a survey of French establishments, we find that employers who rely on the Internet to look for candidates employ more search channels and selection methods. Of Internet users, the employers who recruit via the PES website consider their match to be less satisfying, whereas those who hire via the company website obtain better matches. There is no relationship between the vacancy duration and the recruitment channel.
