   I was under the impression a large % of jobs posted on jobs sites are done simply for compliance reasons and because HR has some "bullshit jobs" parts to it and the companies will usually simply hire from within the company itself.

      Sometimes that can happen but it is not common, certainly not a large % of job posts.

         n of 1 and all, but most jobs I've gotten that were worth getting were from personal reference. To the extent that applying through job sites seems like a real waste of time unless I'm really desperate.

         And to reflect that, the jobs I've gotten were the ones you'd only accept if you were really desperate.
