The existence of the recruiting industry belies that claim. The job market is incredibly inefficient: I would bet that no professional in a big city could name more than 10% of the people who would be willing to employ him at that moment.

Most of the jobs I see and hear about are of no interest to me; I can search careerbuilder (or LinkedIn) and instantly find some jobs that are relevant.

The recruiting industry will not go away, but sites like CareerBuilder and Monster as major players within the recruiting industry will. The value of matching job seekers to jobs is far more efficient within LinkedIn.
