In honesty, I use the least-effort solution - Fire-And-Forget. Then again, I'm not applying to a group of highly technical jobs. I do various types of office work, management, and training mostly and I'm near NYC. When I'm in full "search" mode, I can send out 200 resumes/CV applications a day. It's not always the best method, but I find that 2 weeks of that, I usually get a few phone interviews (yep, that's 1K+ sends for 5 or so contacts). Usually one or two of those will turn into something real - I don't call a recruiter "real".
