...system, the unpredictability of resume drops, interview requests, and Superday invitations forces the typical applicant to cast as broad a net as possible when applying. The challenge employers then face is selecting among those genuinely interested in the position and those merely hedging their bets through precautionary recruiting. In the language of George Akerlof, the Nobel Prize-winning economist who described the used-car market as having buyers and sellers with different amounts of information about the transaction to be made, the recruiting market is ridden with “adverse selection.” In the Harvard case...
...Akerlof’s used-car market, the OCR platform presents employers with two categories of lemons (though others exist)—the disinterested applicant and the opportunitistic one. The former may not initially be interested in the job at all but feigns interest once granted an interview. This represents an error in selection against the interests of applicants who would like offers from the jobs they prefer most. But because of uncertainty in the market, interviews and offers are misallocated from those who should ideally receive them, those most qualified and committed for a given job?...
Restructuring OCR as a matching service, rather than merely a listing of “unverified” internships and interview space, greatly spreads the risk employers currently bear. OCS should be an impartial intermediary to match market players, though, granted, this is not an entirely closed market. Nevertheless, with preferences blind to the other side, the problem of information asymmetry can be resolved for those who do recruit, as each party is incentivized to honestly and openly reveal its preferences, which is what is lacking in the current system. Job scarcities will still lead to students...
...such as Iran and Syria, as well as those with confirmed nuclear programs, like North Korea. The carrot? A guarantee of security if they fall in line with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The stick? The possibility, however remote, of nuclear war if they don't. In an interview before the NPR's release, Obama said that, in a change from the past, the U.S. would no longer threaten nuclear war in retaliation for a biological- or chemical-weapons attack. But look closely at the text, says Hans Kristensen of the Federation of American Scientists, which monitors nuclear weapons...
...article draws on a white paper by a Madison Avenue demographer about 2010 Census projections. In an extended interview, Peter Francese of Ogilvy & Mather tells the trade publication what every other business is finding out: "In terms of marketing, there is no average American." This shouldn't really come as a shock to the industry; it's not like it happened overnight. There is no racial majority in the nation's 10 biggest cities, married couples account for less than half of households, and customers of every age and clime are increasingly unpredictable. This was a hard lesson...
