Selection bias. You may very well have found the same exact, or even better, jobs outside of LI.

Genuine question: how? For me, LinkedIn is the only platform where recruiter can discover my profile and contact me. I've got one job from it.

Other than that it only left me with jobsdb and jobsteet, both need for me to actively looking for a job.
