Has anyone here found a Director position or higher by simply applying to jobs?

I am getting very disappointed, I am applying, but not getting any response. I read somewhere that hiring for higher level positions is more word of mouth, they don't even check applications. Is this true.

I am a director at my place, need to change jobs as lately our company is undergoing org changes, it has been really stressful.

you are not alone! At least you have your current job to pay the bills. Do not let it go without a 100% firm offer from a new opportunity!
