Even in this thread you can find many people besides myself attesting to the consistent power of referrals in most hiring. In fact, that's even one of the central I am, frankly, amazed that you have never had a former colleague approach you about a job opening they had or express that they're looking for a new job.

I have a bunch of anecdotes in this thread, not to mention actual data.
