The Lifecycle of a Job Match
The lifecycle of a job match begins with its creation, where an unemployed worker and a firm with a vacancy mutually agree on employment terms, moving from their respective search pools to the pool of employed workers and filled jobs. The employment relationship then continues until the contract is terminated by either the worker or the firm. After the match ends, both the worker and the firm may re-enter the unemployment and vacancy pools to begin searching for a new partner.
