Comment créer un marché aux talents en interne ?
L’armée passa en revue les officiers précédemment déployés dans la région et fit une recherche basique dans ses CV disponibles, mais cela ne lui offrit pas beaucoup de bonnes options.

Nel 2012 l’esercito degli Stati Uniti doveva affrontare una crisi umanitaria nel Sudest asiatico. Aveva bisogno di un esperto al quale affidare la guida della missione di soccorso nella regione: una persona dotata della necessaria esperienza linguistica, culturale e professionale.

Incumbent firms lobby politicians perhaps to erect barriers to entry and thus protect their market power. This is another form of consumer harm, and the channel through which it flows is regulation.
Salary history and employer demand
Salary history bans are increasingly popular in the US. Using a field experiment to investigate how salary history disclosures impact employer demand, this column finds that disclosing a high salary is often a signal of quality and yields higher salary offers. However, higher salaries can also make candidates too expensive to justify a callback.
