Abstract FRE
In this paper, we analyze the effect of recruitment channels on the Algerian labor market, in particular through social networks.
We use the Algerian national employment survey and survey data of matched employer-employees in Algeria to estimate models of individual choice of the job search channel.
Our results show stronger gender specificities in the way job is obtained in Algeria and in the skill content of the jobs.
Human capital emerges as a major determinant of search methods.
Informal and family networks are found to play an important role in job search for male workers over time, with some significant regional specificities.
The size of the network has a positive effect on finding a job, but with decreasing returns to scale, at least for male workers.
Generally, social networks come out as an efficient method to find a job in Algeria, while less useful for skilled employees.
