IAB-Stellenerhebung: Betriebsbefragung zu Stellenangebot und Besetzungsprozessen, Wellen 2000 bis 2023 mit Folgequartalen von 2006 bis 2024

Abstract

"The IAB Job Vacancy Survey is a quarterly and representative establishment survey on labour demand and recruitment processes in Germany. The survey identifies the overall stock of vacancies in the German labour market, including those vacancies that are not reported to the Federal Employment Agency (FEA). The main survey in the fourth quarter of each year consists of three modules. The first module contains questions about the number and structure of vacancies, future personnel requirements, about the current economic situation, and the expected development of participating establishments. The second module enquires about employers’ attitudes and use of current labour market instruments, as well as how employers deal with disadvantaged people in the labour market. The third module asks for information about the last new hire and the last case of a failed recruitment effort. In the first, second, and third quarters of the following year, short follow-up surveys covering, among other things, the core questions are conducted among the establishments that took part in the main survey. The Research Data Centre of the Federal Employment Agency makes the data sets from the survey waves from 2000 onwards, including all modules and the follow-up surveys, available to external researchers."
