[quote=Anonymous]All of my teams' recent hires at mid-higher level have come through the corporate website.  They are pretty specialized roles and networking alone did not find the right candidates. But we don't rely on people just coming to apply, our internal recruiters are also reaching out to people on LinkedIn.  I also got my job (senior manager level) by directly applying through the website.

However, for entry-level, the last few times we've had an opening, we've filled it by contacting our recent interns.  There's only one true entry-level position in our department (which I supervise) and my goal is to never have to open-hire for that position.  I also hire our interns -- we have three per year -- and those are hired via a general application to the website.  Occasionally I do get a recommendation for an intern and that will most likely get you an interview but is not a factor considered beyond that.  Only once have I ended up hiring an intern who first made it into the interview pool because of a recommendation.[/quote]
