The key to success in IT field or any other Business was also word of mouth and networking.
Lately lots of Networking sites have evolved some in the form of social networking, intranet networking within the office and Professional Business Networking Sites like Linkedin, Ecademy and many more…

There is a very thin line difference between Forums and Networking Site.
Forums are topic and comments based moderated by an admin and postings are done by the users, which is slightly in-direct approach to a problem.

The point I am trying to make here is these sites have come across as a great help to the recruiters and the candidates as a mode of direct contact, especially for the field of IT, since it is Internet Driven.

Hiring Managers looks for testimonials a recommendation which are genuinely shared on these networking sites. It is kind of a voting system, which drives confidence into the hiring manager while dealing with the candidate. They have direct access to the candidate, which helps them with the initial filteration of the candidates.
