Yeah office jobs in my country are basically all posted there, especially if you want to work for an international company.

Depends on your job and needs.

Sadly, yes. I know several people who found their job on LinkedIn in OPs country for example(sampling warning: because I have close ties to an Austrian company recruiting actively there).

I see the problem similar to the fediverse: for mass attraction you need either mass or a selling point. LinkedIn at least has the numbers...

I'm annoyed by it every time I have to open it but there are too many business ties to just dump for me and I don't have the influence to convince anyone to change communication platforms.

All of that is my profession bubble of course.

Less than it was but still useful. I know several people who were approached by recruiters and got their current jobs via that. And these were decent specialist jobs in R&D.

I have been approached many times, however half the time it was for something completely outside my experience, the ones that weren't I didn't have enough experience in comparison to other candidates. And I am not actively looking to change jobs.

It has gotten less like that though and the feed has become almost completely useless unless you aggressively block everyone perpetuating crappy posts. But then there's ads for companies that ublock doesn't seem to detect because they are just looking like posts.

The feed/social network bit is useless, but it's (sadly) by far the best job-search tool for my industry (tech).

I always try to use other platforms, but my last 3 jobs have all been found through linkedin. This across various European countries, if that helps as a reference point.
