Indeed feels really dead, at least in my area. Has a different website replaced it? Are we back to looking for IRL "Now Hiring" signs? I'm drowning here.

    I got picked up for my current job through a headhunter, who found me via LinkedIn because my account was active.

    Same with the job before that. Just kinda being active on LinkedIn was enough to get noticed. Although, I also had to wade through a ton of spam.

    I'm a software developer by trade, specializing in accounting.

    But even beyond that, referral is a really big deal. I got a college friend a job by hand holding him through the application process. Haranguing HR to notice his resume. Haranguing my boss to get him scheduled for an interview. Haranguing my boss's boss to pick up the rubber stamp.

    For a company that was looking to hire, its amazing how long it took them to pull the trigger on an (over)qualified candidate in a hot market.
