This paper provides evidence of substantial matching frictions in the Indian labor market. In particular, placement o cers in vocational training institutes have very little information about the job preferences of candidates who they are trying to place in jobs. We begin by adopting several methods to elicit genuine preferences of candidates over di erent types of jobs and show that: (a) there is a substantial variation in preferences over the same jobs and (b) placement o cers have poor knowledge of it. We then provide placement o cers with this information and examine its impact on placement and employment outcomes. We nd that placement o cers come close to e ciently matching candidates to job interviews and that there is an overall improvement in matching even after taking into account redistribution within a group of potential employees. Lastly, we nd substantial improvement in the quality of jobs that the treated candidates end up with, as measured by their preferences. JEL codes: J22, J24, J61, J62, J64
