My last three hires (including my current position) were the result of profiles I had posted to boards (in chronological order, Dice.com in 2000, Monster.com in 2003, STC in 2006). In all cases, the companies contacted me, I did not apply to postings from them (in the last two, the jobs were never posted anywhere before they hired me). In all cases the companies sent blind emails to my confidential profiles, which do not include my name, contact info or the name of my current employer, and their messages were then forwarded to me by the job boards' remailers. A company needs to be *really* interested to get in touch with me. :)
