Effects of Competition in a Secretary Problem
Operations Research, 2014 In a novel multiplayer extension of the famous secretary problem, multiple players seek to employ secretaries from a common labour pool. Secretaries do not accept being put on hold, always accept job offers immediately, and leave the labour pool once rejected by a single player. All players have an identical preference for secretaries, and all players

The multi-returning secretary problem
Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2022 In this paper we consider the so-called Multi-returning secretary problem, a version of the Secretary problem in which each candidate has $m$ identical copies. The case $m=2$ has already been completely solved by several authors using different methods both the case $m>2$ had not been satisfactorily solved yet.

The Finite-Memory Secretary Problem
Annals of Probability, 1977 The expected rank of the individual selected in the secretary problem can be kept bounded as the number of individuals becomes infinite even if we are not permitted to remember more than one individual at a time. The least upper bound of these expected ranks is derived: it is approximately 7.4.

The secretary recommendation problem [PDF]
Games and Economic Behavior, 2020 In this paper we revisit the basic variant of the classical secretary problem. We propose a new approach in which we separate between an agent that evaluates the secretary performance and one that has to make the hiring decision. The evaluating agent (the sender) signals the quality of the candidate to the hiring agent (the receiver) who must make a ...

Post-decision search in repeated and variable environments [PDF]
Judgment and Decision Making, 2018 When faced with a decision, people collect information to help them decide. Though it may seem unnecessary, people often continue to search for information about alternatives after they have already chosen an option, even if this choice is irreversible ...

The Hiring Problem and Permutations [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2009 The $\textit{hiring problem}$ has been recently introduced by Broder et al. in last year's ACM-SIAM Symp. on Discrete Algorithms (SODA 2008), as a simple model for decision making under uncertainty.

Sequential selection of the k best out of nrankable objects [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2016 The objective of this paper is to find in a setting of n sequential observations of objects a good online policy to select the k bestof these n uniquely rankable objects.

The Secretary Problem with Independent Sampling [PDF]
Management Science, 2021 The secretary problem is probably the most well-studied optimal stopping problem with many applications in economics and management. In the secretary problem, a decision maker faces an unknown sequence of values, revealed successively, and has to make irrevocable take-it-or-leave-it decisions.
