Extreme sampling bias.

Startup has opening -> Can't fill it with people in their network -> Can't fill it with people who come to them -> Resorts to Angel List posting -> Angel list posting stays online longer because they have trouble filling it -> high turnover means the job ad stays up forever or keeps getting reposted.

Great jobs tend to skew toward the left side of that funnel = sampling bias.
