Everything on LinkedIn has all been dead-ends with recruiters not understanding the tech. I got 2 free coffees trying to talk to some guys and then I realized that the privacy concerns far outweighed any 'value' the Microsoft-owned service provides. Really the best thing that's worked recently has all been networking and small forums/chat. It's not easy to get into a network, but once you're in, you see that all the 'good' jobs are taken before they make public boards or recruiter lists. Sibling also mentioned directly applying (even if there isn't a visible opening) and this usually catches more folks' attention and then they don't have to pay a headhunter fee.
