You dont get jobs on there because unless you have a “god tier” resume and application filled out, HR has to pay to unlock your name from your application, so nobody is going to do that if you arent the #1 candidate in all of LinkedIn that applied. LinkedIn is its own worst enemy.

I'm using LinkedIn ATM (searching for a new job) and all the jobs I've applied for have gone off site to the company's own applicant submit site. So I don't get what LinkedIn is actually locking up?

  Yeah at least all the big companies in my town seem to use LinkedIn as a place to get views for job postings, and then they funnel them to their internal system.

  Nothing, that take is just salty. You can easily get jobs on LinkedIn. I've employed most of the people in my teams via LinkedIn over the years.

    It seems very spotty to me. I have no doubt it would be a good in some geos or if you can be roughly the cheapest of acceptable GEOS for a remote job, etc, while in other areas I don't think anyone is that serious about follow through on LinkedIn.

Counterpoint: I basically get all of my jobs on there. Switching on the available for work sign is more effective than the bat signal. I work in a relatively niche and extremely demanding industry, which may contribute.

I have been getting jobs from LinkedIn for my entire career (approximately 15 years). Mind you, I'm always nice to recruiters and respond to them, so I probably get bounced up higher in the search results.
