Online job vacancy attractiveness: Increasing views, reactions and conversions

作者:

Highlights:

• We study the predictors of online job posting attractiveness: views, reactions and conversions.

• In terms of the MSE and MAE, the linear models do not perform well.

• Random forest consistently outperforms the benchmark and linear models.

• Variable importance is tested within an MCS approach.

• Job classification and benefits help predict attractiveness.

• The morphological characteristics of the job title are also a useful predictor.
