Personal relations on labor market and individual’s strategies of employment
The fact, that personal relations as a “looking-for-a-job” channel are widely used, prompts the idea of a universal character this channel. To prove this hypothesis, the author considers the statistics of how frequently the different channels had been used on the labor markets by the persons employed in the “RMEZ”-enterprise in 1998-2004 (the Siberian Federal District) and presents his classification of different types of the employment strategies according to the criterion whether there is/is not person’s addressing to social nets as an employment channel among other channels. Within the framework of the human and social capital concept, the paper analyses the professional and labor status of individuals who had used his personal relations to become employed.
