Over the years I've been either a freelance IT consultant or the head of an IT consultancy. I never got a client from LinkedIn, no one that worked for me ever got a client from LinkedIn, and more broadly, no one I know has ever got a client from LinkedIn. I'm sure they have some purpose (public resume database?) that I'm not clear on, but their value from my perspective is 0.
- wyclif 11y agoI've never gotten a job from LinkedIn, though I'm connected to lots of people I know IRL and have loads of IRL recommendations. Most of what I see is generated by recruiters, even agency recruiters. I get loads of contact requests from recruiters looking for a "rockstar"/"10x"/"ninja", and I ignore all of them. OTOH, I've gotten several jobs via Twitter. Anecdotal, but Twitter is a more powerful business-oriented social media service if you're looking for a job.
