"Using unique survey and register data with detailed information on the channel-specific search intensities of older workers in Germany, we investigate the relationship between job search behavior and job search success focusing on older workers. We find that intensive job search via the public employment service is not linked to an older worker's job search success, but results in a greater wage loss and lower job satisfaction. By contrast, increasing job search by a private provider is positively linked with the probability of finding a new job and results in a lesser wage loss." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
