I'm reviewing the resources I subcribe to and having checked my records was slightly suprised to find:

My core sectors are sales and IT, and of my last 10 placements 6 came from advert responses from one of the well known generalist job boards; 2 came from advert responses on a well known 'free' job board, only 1 came from actually searching the database of said well known job board, and 1 came from 'networking'.

This was a suprise to me as I spend a great deal of time searching the database. Based on this I'm seriously considering not re-newing my database subscription!

I suspect its just an anomaly, but has anyone else had similar experiences?
