六、报告摘要：

This paper examines the impact of the deadline that an employer chooses for its preferred job candidate to accept its job offer on the recruiting outcome. The choice of acceptance deadline depends on the quality of the employer, the secondary candidate of the employer, and the salary (or remuneration package) provided in the job offer. If the secondary candidate of an employer is not sufficiently attractive, the acceptance deadline of the employer's job offer is decreasing in its quality. If the secondary is attractive enough, the relationship between the acceptance deadline and the quality of the employer is not monotonic; both low quality and high quality employers choose to send exploding offers, which give their preferred job candidates no time of consideration. Increasing the salary specified in the offer may induce an employer to choose a longer acceptance deadline. That is, the salary does not necessarily substitute the role of the acceptance deadline in recruitment. However, if we allow an employer to customize its job offer to screen candidates having privately informed market prospects, the salary and the acceptance deadline are substitutes. The optimal design of job offer exhibits the features of ``bonus-for-early-acceptance" mechanism, under which the candidate receives a salary bonus if he accepts the offer immediately, and the bonus decreases with the time of making the acceptance decision until the offer expires at a predetermined date.
