It might also help to specify details such as

where you are in the world
what field you work in
what stage of your career you're in

For example, I'm in Canada (Vancouver) and I see a lot of LinkedIn + school career pages

Based in the UK, work in accountancy.

Got my current job from an internal promotion/sideways move from Purchase Ledger to Commercial Finance. I was in the process of being made redundant before I got the promotion. Before that, I got my job through Reed (the agency.)

I'm not currently looking for jobs, but I'd honestly look on Indeed if I was seeking something. There are very few recruitment agencies I'd actually recommend, and those are: Red Recruitment, Robert Half, Reed and Ashley Rees Associates. A few agencies are on my shit-list but I won't namedrop them.

LinkedIn to me is just 90% recruiter spam and 10% corporate boot-licking. It's where you go when you want to post disingenuous motivational quotes about how great the working world is.
