The authors discuss the NetLab Network – an interdisciplinary network studying the intersection of social networks, communication networks, and computer networks. It has developed since 2000 from an informal network of collaborators into a far flung virtual laboratory with members from across Canada and the United States as well as from Chile, Hungary, Israel, Japan, Norway, Portugal, and the United Kingdom. Connecting them is a shared sensibility of interpreting behavior from a social network perspective rather than seeing the world as composed of bounded groups, tree-like hierarchies, or aggregates of disconnected individuals. NetLab's researchers focus on the interplay between social and technological links, social capital in job searches and business settings, new media and community, internet and personal relations, social media, households, networked organizations, and knowledge transfer. NetLab has had two main achievements: first, its researchers make substantive contributions to the issues they study, and second, they demonstrate that this model of scholarly collaboration works.

Comprehensive Study

Background:The impact of the increased popularity of the internet as a platform to search for jobs may benefit every job seeker as an alternative to generate employment opportunities. Graduates that emphasize on general skills have a higher likelihood of disparitywhile searching for jobs. Objectives:This paper explores graduates’ perceptionson  the knowledge of how to search for jobs from relevant sourcesr. Methods:The theoretical review focuses on job search strategies, job choices and job accessibility through different sources, highlights the usefulness of  job portals for job seekers to find the right job as per their skills and requirements. The existing literature has observed that many job search behaviors through different sourceshas been performed and these behaviors indicate that awareness level affects job seekers’ intentions to apply for jobs. Empirical studies indicate that thechoice of job search by graduates match between a worker’s education and job offered.General skills have a higher likelihood of mismatch at job searches in different countries. Findings:Still in many developing countries, due to lack of awareness of job portals, people are not getting the right jobs and alternatives of their current jobs by different sources. Conclusions:A comprehensive study on applicability of the internet job search is useful for employers, considering the introduction of new graduate recruitment programmers. It is also useful for those wishing to improve their existing ones as well as for institutions of higher education, to reconsider the type of knowledge and skills they provide in order to prepare their students for the real world of work. Implications: Graduates require proper awareness on job search sites and the concerned industry should focus on it as well.

PurposeThis research examines how job seekers' levels of harmonious work passion (HWP) and obsessive work passion (OWP) affect the importance job seekers place upon job and organizational elements in recruiting messages.Design/methodology/approachEmployees who had recently completed job searches read multiple recruiting messages and ranked the importance of different elements in the messages.FindingsGeneral linear modeling found statistical differences between the importance of recruiting message elements for participants with varying levels of HWP and OWP.Research limitations/implicationsThe participants were information technology, engineering and human resource professionals limiting the generalizability of these results to other professions.Practical implicationsRecruiters should vary the information in their recruiting messages depending on the levels of HWP and OWP they want to attract to their applicant pools.Originality/valueThis research adds harmonious and obsessive work passion to the constructs considered in the recruiting message development process.

Parameter Values

Current Population Survey (CPS) data over the period from 1994 to 2008 show that inflation has a positive effect on the residual wage dispersion. To explain this phenomenon, we introduce uncoordinated job searches into a general equilibrium monetary search framework. Our model shows that the uncoordinated job searches by unemployed workers give rise to an equilibrium, where a firm is matched with zero, one, or multiple job applicants. The ex post difference in matching probabilities generates a two-point wage dispersion among identical workers, when the Mortensen rule is implemented in the wage-determination process. In our model, inflation positively influences the wage dispersion directly through its impact on firm's real profit and indirectly through the effect of inflation that spills over from the goods market to the labor market. With reasonable parameter values, the calibrated model can account for most of the observed responses of residual wage dispersion to inflation.

BACKGROUND Traditional methods using print media and commercial firms for clinician recruiting are often limited by cost, slow pace, and suboptimal results. An efficient and fiscally sound approach is needed for searching online to recruit clinicians. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to assess the Web-based methods by which clinicians might be searching for jobs in a broad range of specialties and how academic medical centers can advertise clinical job openings to prominently appear on internet searches that would yield the greatest return on investment. METHODS We used a search engine (Google) to identify 8 query terms for each of the specialties and specialists (eg, dermatology and dermatologist) to determine internet job search methodologies for 12 clinical disciplines. Searches were conducted, and the data used for analysis were the first 20 results. RESULTS In total, 176 searches were conducted at varying times over the course of several months, and 3520 results were recorded. The following 4 types of websites appeared in the top 10 search results across all specialties searched, accounting for 52.27% (920/1760) of the results: (1) a single no-cost job aggregator (229/1760, 13.01%); (2) 2 prominent journal-based paid digital job listing services (157/1760, 8.92% and 91/1760, 5.17%, respectively); (3) a fee-based Web-based agency (137/1760, 7.78%) offering candidate profiles; and (4) society-based paid advertisements (totaling 306/1760, 17.38%). These sites accounted for 75.45% (664/880) of results limited to the top 5 results. Repetitive short-term testing yielded similar results with minor changes in the rank order. CONCLUSIONS On the basis of our findings, we offer a specific financially prudent internet strategy for both clinicians searching the internet for employment and employers hiring clinicians in academic medical centers.
