I agree 100%. And I send resumes rather than LinkedIn profiles. I've worked in corporates in great teams and HR have been, well, HR (an industry where people generally end up after being unable to do whatever else they wanted to).

But perhaps you don't want to work in an organization where parts of the organization are allowed to suck? Where hiring is considered important enough for resumes to go straight to your manager? There's a not a lot of these places, but they're often the ones with the top talent (and they're likely to find your resume than you have to chase them).
