I think lookingfor job is right. I don't believe that only 15% of the jobs are advertized. It is true that the employer has to go through a lot of hassle - hire the recruiters, they have to submit the job posting, screen the candidates and so on but this is part of the hiring process.

I think it's very hard to determine what percentage of the job market are hidden jobs. I don't see how you can measure that.

The entire "hidden job market" thing is a little exaggerated. And besides if a friend tells a friend that they are looking for a person to fill a particular position how are you going to find out if you are not THE Friend? The only suggestion that I have is to do more networking, meet a lot of people and when you are looking for a job make sure you tell all the people you know.
