I am a programmer and indirectly got my current job via Linkedin. In 2019, a big four accounting firm contacted me on Linkedin to do consulting work for them. I would not have thought of applying to them but since they reached out I talked to them and was hired, and was placed at a Fortune 100 company. A year later (2020) I was hired by the F100 company.

Recruiters from Meta/Facebook and other companies have reached out to me since then. The non-spammy ones directly from companies I respond to, but told them I am not currently interviewing.

In your settings you can check if you're active looking, casually browsing etc. If you're marked as actively looking you might get more incoming.
