Personally I have a resume/profile on Careers.StackOverflow.com, Angellist, CodeEval, Github...etc... I don't expect engineers to spend any time clicking through profiles though. That's exactly the point, if you're recruiting for a startup you can afford to do things that don't scale (like reaching out the authors of your favorite open source repos, meeting people at conferences and meetups etc). If you need soooo many engineers right now that you need to employ tactics like farming LinkedIn...then we're a bad match anyway. The point of my original comment was that some people (like me) prefer to be recruited in ways that don't scale because that lets us know that it's a certain kind of company (namely a small-scale startup that is hand-picking their team very carefully). And that's what appeals to me.
