Drawing on data from the French Labour Surveys (2005-2012), this article deals with the matching processes achieved by the three main recruitment channels in the French labour market: direct job applications, networks and public employment agencies. The job finding channels are analyzed, controlling for the job search channels used. Drawing on the economy of conventions theory, the main hypothesis is that the three channels lead to different matches because they do not convey the same kind of information about applicants: the 'format' of the information may be written, spoken or standardized. Compared to the other ones, employees who have found their job via a public employment agency have more often replied to a job advert. To a certain extent, this result highlights the standardization undertaken by the public institution, which is unfavourable to people who did not have French nationality at birth. When the regional rate of unemployment increases, the probability of being hired through direct job application increases, while such a probability decreases with the other two channels.
