I don't use it, but I know companies checkout my profile whenever I apply so I made my profile look really good, added a ton of skills and completed a bunch of the certification test things.

Up until recently when jobs in my industry dried up, I would get recruiters contacting me weekly at a minimum. I've never actually used it as a social media platform, and I don't understand why people do tbh.
