my experience in 2023 is that I applied to a single job at fastly, got a referral through blind.
the only reason I applied was because it was uncanny how much the position matched my skillset.
this position was 1:1 what I've been doing in my career, pretty much an open req tailored to my experience.
dude on blind told me that it got fast tracked to the mgmt team from hr screening. I waited two weeks, and got a boilerplate rejection email. there were probably thousands of people who applied to that position.
