===Labor acquisition / hiring=== {{Further|Application for employment}} The main ways for [[employer]]s to find workers and for people to find employers are via jobs listings in newspapers (via [[classified advertising]]) and online, also called [[job board]]s. Employers and job seekers also often find each other via professional [[recruitment consultant]]s which receive a [[commission (remuneration)|commission]] from the employer to find, screen and select suitable candidates. However, a study has shown that such consultants may not be reliable when they fail to use established principles in selecting employees.<ref name=":2">{{cite journal|url=http://www.forecastingprinciples.com/paperpdf/Predicting%20job%20performance.pdf|title=Predicting job performance: A comparison of expert opinion and research findings|last1=Dakin|first1=Stephen|last2=Armstrong|first2=J.
