I've had the opposite experience, the one reflected in the study. The
one time I tried to find a job using monster and dice, was an abysmal failure
and I eventually found one via personal contact with someone I knew. Six
months after I'd removed my resume from the job boards, I was still getting
occasional calls from "headhunters" trying to fill in their databases. I never
got a single interview from the monster or dice boards, just a few calls from
the aforementioned database headhunters - which of course never turned into a
job interview either.
