Disclosure: I work on a startup that provides a tool for referrals (rolepoint.com) as well as SaaS that is used by job boards (rolepoint.io). I also gathered job boards in a quite popular repository https://github.com/lukasz-madon/awesome-remote-job https://github.com/lukasz-madon/awesome-remote-job Couple of things that I noticed - more channels - There are at least a dozen of startups like TripleByte, interviewing.io - referrals becomes preferred way of hiring. From small companies where majority of hires are made through personal networks to fortune 500 companies (using an external recruiter is a last resort). - AngelList, Stackoverflow Careers have matching features and you can learn more about the company. - This is an employee market. Companies have to proactive to get employees (hence the 'poaching'). Posting something to a job board is not efficient. - More acquihires by US companies happens in Europe, since they have hard time competing with Apple, Google, Facebook etc. First two points are backed by data.
