I shouted with joy when it was announced that the completely vile
practice of prospective employers demanding that you reveal your
compensation history will (at least in MA) become illegal next year:

Where I am now is a small group (10-15). We all have 10+ years of
experience (20+) and the youngest is 41(!). We want people we can work
with when we hire so internal recommendations go to the top of the list.
We were bought in Jan and HR

I've gotten one (1) job -- a contracting gig -- by way of a headhunter,
clear back in '91. Since then, I've left my name with a few headhunters,
but have gotten no good leads, and one headhunter flat-out tried to
screw me over. (Or lied. Or both.) Since I moved to NH in '93, I've
gotten one job
My experience with recruiters is an extremely high signal:noise
ratio. Increasingly, recruiters (not company staff) are conducting phone
interviews, setting up on-site interviews themselves, and provide little to
no information on the actual position you're interviewing for.
I've had recruiters
As a contractor in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s I almost always used a
headhunter. but now with LinkedIn, and the other online services companies
post their jobs and get 1000s or applicants. When I was RA'd by IBM, the
first thing I did was email a few people I know and that is how I ended up
at Red
I would have to agree with the personal network comments. The last job that
I applied for, and got, was in 2003. I've had 3 jobs since then, and
they've all been through contacts from linkedin or a personal reference.
