  I think that depends on what profession you’re in. I get contacted on the regular by recruiters on that platform for jobs. It’s where I have found my last 2 positions in 7 years.

    Likewise. It has generated several offers for me, but the vast majority of head hunters are playing spray-n-pray with keywords. For every good lead I get, I have to tell 400 people to fuck off.

    Oh.. you're a Sox analyst? Want to work in a sock factory? Want to do the laundry for a minor league baseball team? Want to be in a fetish video?

      Head hunters are so annoying I’ve stopped responding to them. They barely know anything about the position they try to fill.

        Depends. I got my recent job from a headhunter: a Rust programming gig in a fully remote startup with good benefits and a great salary. When the offers are not great, I tell them. This was through LinkedIn.

      Definitely. I said this in another reply as well, but I don’t respond unless they say something very specific about my background. I know AI can do that but that seems the best way to go for now.

    I usually just got offers from people who wouldn’t tell me what the job was or how much it paid until I agreed to an hour long sales pitch, I mean, interview.

      For sure there are still those. I usually get one decent one for about 20 ransoms that don’t say a word. I usually don’t respond unless they say something specific about my background.

    And what field is this? Or what professions do you think so well here?

      Product development. Anything associated with building software products get a lot of traction on LinkedIn

  Yeah, to me has been kind of useless too: I never found a job with it, while the classic job boards (indeed etc) have served me quite well.

  I’ve found my last 3 jobs on there. It depends on your role and area, but I much prefer it to classic trash ad sites.
