Exclusivity = Scarcity + Credibility
Well that is the motto that Doostang prides in. Doostang is a job site that is shaped as a social network for job placement. But the site is not for all.
When I tried to make a go, pat came the reply that the site was not available to be seen by people from my country. Scratching the surface I find the site is an old place probably exclusively for people from MIT and Stanford University. The idea has been to use the Internet to help former university members in obtaining good positions with companies or organizations.
The one thing that comes clear from the site and a related video below is that nearly 70% of all jobs are filled in through referrals. Just as well.
But pray what happens to persons who are really skilled but have no one to refer them? Are there sites that offer anonymous referrals? It may be something like you know a person is really good for a post but would rather prefer anonymity when you refer him or her.

Hi, did you ever discover any sites that allow you to refer someone anonymously. I think it’s an interesting idea.
@Bob:
No, I haven’t come across any such site similar to what you’re referring. But you can possibly assume a pseudo-name and then refer somebody if you so desire.
