This working paper is being published with the sole objective of contributing to the debate on a topic of importance to the region, and to elicit comments and suggestions from interested parties. This paper has not gone through the Department's peer review process or undergone consideration by the SDS Management Team. As such, it does not reflect the official position of the Inter-American Development Bank.
Labor intermediation services aim nor only to get job seekers more quickly into new jobs but also to make a better quality match, reducing job rotation, the cost of new hires and even improving productivity. This paper examines the characteristics of labor intermediation services, reviews reform efforts in the region and lays out the principal institutional models that can be found in these countries and concludes with a series of recommendations.
