    Has anyone ever found a job via linkedin? I got the impression that the jobs there are fake and used to harvest CV data or something (particularly those quick apply ones)

      Yes, I’ve always found jobs via linked in.

      Though, I have been most successful through having recruiters reaching out to me directly rather than applying for jobs. Applying directly to companies is a recipe for being ignored.

      I’ve always got jobs by using linkedin. Don’t even know how people get one without.

      But usually it’s by interaction with people aggressively sending messages, so recruiters coming and asking if I want a new job.

      I’ve not used the new feature they have where jobs are listed and you can apply from there, but at least some of the ones I’ve been sent messages for sometimes match the entries there.
