That's wild. I first typically LinkedIn search someone, and then web search someone, even before I get too deep into the resume (they've already been filtered and ranked for me).

In the past I got a job I had for 8 years through my blog, a startup that eventually sold....

So, it's been pretty good for me, and doesn't actually take that much extra effort on top of the learning you do daily working in tech.
