Wait, you're proud of being recruited on LinkedIn?

  I’m the same.. as a UI/UX Designer & Developer LinkedIn via recruiters has brought me great opportunities & a better overall life. Some recruiters are slimey, but most I’ve dealt with in my ten year career are not.

  Well, if you use it correctly LinkedIn isn’t too bad. As a contractor who has to jump ship every 6 months or so, I find it quite convenient to let the recruiters do the heavy lifting. I literally have to do nothing - I just get offers in my inbox and just have to say “interested” to secure an interview and usually get the gig the next week. Maybe past a certain level of experience you can easily secure gigs without it, but I’ve never really been interested at “networking” and if I can let LinkedIn do the job for me then all the better. Granted, the platform itself is shit (and the iOS app is an absolute crime) but the idea isn’t that bad.

    Between networking with former coworkers and networking with good local recruiters, you get a better bang for your buck working with recruiters. They know where the jobs are and they are incentivized to get you a job.

  I’ve also had lucrative offers and contracts come by way of LinkedIn.
