I got my current job through LinkedIn, for better or for worse, so it *can* work. A recruiter who had actually taken the time to read my bio wrote me an email asking if I had any experience with very, very specific technologies that were somewhat related to the ones I'd listed (but even more niche), and would I be interested in coming to work for their large public-sector client. This landed right as I was thinking "fuck this place, I must update my LinkedIn and see if there's anything decent in the comms field just now", so, pretty much perfect.
