It all depends on skills and experience. It also helps to be currently employed. I had recruiters bugging me monthly this past nov-jun. Current employer and another local company struggling find enough devs to hire.

[Edit: I also get inquiries for jobs and contracts weekly through Linked-in. It's a great job tool.]

Any tips on getting inquiries on linked-in?

Completely fill out your profile as you would your resume. Join relevant groups.

I filled out my profile completely. How does joining groups help?

Internal and external recruiters often reach out to prospects through the groups they belong to. Problem is they're not very location specific.

Agree with the effectiveness of LinkedIn. In my last job I had recruiters calling me on my company with offers.
