Of my six IS postings, the first was acquired through a local newspaper ad, the next three were through attendance at ISS and ECIS job fairs, and the last two were through the Search Associates database (one was an in-school interview and the other a Skype interview). I feel that I interview well in-person, so I am off to the Search fair in London next week. I have applied online to several schools recently, but even though I have IBDP and MYP experience, I have only one 'pre-interview' to show for it, so I am confident that more opportunities will present themselves at the fair when I am able to speak directly to schools, as this has been my experience in the past. So, my preferred method is still the immediacy of the face-to-face interview.
