I have a very old linkedin account that has 10 years-outdated info. The company I'm supposedly working for does not exist anymore.
As soon as I would even touch one word in my profile, a pile of recruiters would be triggered instantly. From experience I know that these recruiters have zero added value for me and often even their customer. On the contrary even, they have a tendency to try to fill any job with any qualification, because when they succeed, they hit a jackpot.
Job vacancies are present on job sites like 'Indeed'. It is very easy to set an appropriate filter and just start sending out your CV to companies.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoIt's even easier to do nothing and have people contact you. I got my current job because a recruiter cold-called me about my Linked-In profile. It was a perfect match for a position she was trying to fill. I wasn't looking, but it wasn't hard to persuade me to switch either.
- macintux 3y agoI clearly need to do a better job with my profile, because recruiters never bother me.
- RajT88 3y agoI had two pretty good jobs come to me from LinkedIn. The majority of job leads I got from maybe the start of LinkedIn to about 8 years ago were crap. These days, most job leads are not crap, they just are not competitive with my current job. Much improved! Granted, I just updated a couple months ago my profile to say, "Not open to opportunities" and because my profile is recently updated, I get people contacting me daily - even on the weekend.
