Abstract
İşgücü piyasasında işçi-işveren eşleşmesinin etkinliği işsiz kalma süresini ve doğal işsizlik oranını etkilemektedir. İşçi-işveren eşleşmesinin etkinliğini belirleyen unsurlardan biri işgücü piyasasında hangi iş arama kanallarının ne yoğunlukta kullanıldığıdır. Bu çalışmada hane halkı İşgücü Anketi mikro verileri kullanılarak Türkiye’de iş arama kanallarının kullanımının bireysel özelliklere ve zamana göre nasıl değiştiği doğrusal olmayan ekonometrik tahmin yöntemleri ile incelenmektedir. Bulgular, özellikle İŞKUR kanalı ile iş arama davranışının zaman içinde yaygınlaştığını göstermektedir. Kadınların İŞKUR ve özel istihdam ofislerine başvurma olasılıklarının erkeklere göre daha yüksek olduğu; öte yandan doğrudan başvuru ve eş-dost aracılığı ile iş aramaya daha az yöneldikleri saptanmaktadır. Yaş gruplarına bakıldığında doğrudan işverene başvuruların 25 yaş altındaki gençler arasında, eş dost aracılığıyla gayrı resmi kanallardan iş aramanın ise 45 yaş ve üstündeki işsizler arasında daha yaygın olduğu görülmektedir. İş arama süresine göre bakıldığında, kısa süreli işsizlere göre (0-2 ay) daha uzun süreli işsiz olanların neredeyse tüm iş kanallarını kullanma olasılıkları daha fazladır.

Abstract
The effectiveness of labor market matching affects the duration and natural rate of unemployment. In return, availability and prevalence of job search channels are important determinants of the effectiveness of the matching process. This study uses the Household Labor Force Survey (2014-2019) micro data to investigate the relationship between individual characteristics and choice of job search channel. The findings from the nonlinear econometric model show the use of the Turkish Employment Agency as a job search channel to have significantly increased over time. The results also show women to be more likely to apply to the Turkish Employment Agency or to private employment offices compared to men and to be less likely to apply to employers directly and search with the help of friends. Large heterogeneity also occurs across age groups. The results show directly applying to employers to be more common among young individuals under the age of 25, and looking for a job with the help of friends and relatives to be more common among individuals over 45. Finally, those who’ve been unemployed for 3 months or more are more likely to use any job search channel compared to those who have been unemployed for less than two months.
