I guess this depends on your definition of "required."
Some federally regulated industries or those that do business with governments may "have" to post jobs -- but, for the most part posting jobs is an internal decision of the HR Department.
Experience has also taught me that, especially for upper level jobs, that requirement can be waived pretty much on a whim.
I will say that the idea that posting is the last resort isn't generally true. Most large firms find it very helpful. And there are still those who must meet EEO standards -- but not all.
One other comment, and this speaks to getting your foot in the door using temp agencies. I've never done that, but almost every job I've ever gotten was because of contacts, so it seems to me that temp agencies should be a good thing.
