Working Papers from Aarhus School of Business - Department of Economics

Abstract: The recruitment of new employees is analysed in a theoritical model. It is shown that it can be optimal to implement requirements of formal qualifications for jobs, although it would be possible for the manager to find applicants who have a higher expected ability but no formal qualifications.
