I need to model the job application process by job seekers. Specifically a job seeker when looking for a job, comes across a job and then decides whether to apply for it or not. I want to model this application decision. Assuming that job seeker has already come across a job, I want to model what are the factors (of the job/employer) that will make this person apply or not apply to the job.

I will appreciate any references that have done similar modeling or any suggestions in this direction. I have been reading papers from job search theory but I think my question is not really a search question. I'm taking search as exogenous and then trying to model what happens after the match is made. Appreciate any help!

I will appreciate any references that have done similar modeling or any suggestions in this direction. I have been reading papers from job search theory but I can't figure how to use search theory to build my model. The search literature seem to argue that only factor that may affect person's decision to apply is the wage offer from current job versus an outside option. However, in the absence of wage offer; for example person looking at job description and thinking whether he should apply to this job or not, is the question that I'm really after. I guess this is still a search question, it's just that I want to model for other factors (expectation about wages, job condition, employer, my own taste towards the job/employer etc) in the application decision. Appreciate any help!
