I can't speak for other institutions, but in my experience hiring at a
museum is often "hurry-up-and-wait." Approval to spend the money to
advertise, let alone hire, often comes mere days before the intended
start date. I've always taken those with a grain of salt.
I've also found Personnel offices very slow to accept the Internet as a
way of finding candidates. At every institution I have worked for, I
had to introduce the notion to the Personnel Department.
This also explains why so many postings are "second-hand:" candidates
need to contact the Personnel Director, but the person who actually
knows enough about computers to put the posting on the web is someone
else.
I have also been asked by others to put jobs on the Web.
In short, it is far from a perfect world, but we're working on it...
