ABSTRACT
We analyze interaction logs from Seek.com, a well-known Australasian employment site, with the goal of better understanding the ways in which users pursue their search goals following the issue of each query. Of particular interest are the patterns of job summary viewing and click-through behaviors that arise, and the differences in activity between mobile/tablet-based users (Android/iOS) and computer-based users.
