As an engineering manager I found LinkedIn to be very inefficient in finding quality talents at scale. There isn’t enough signal to gauge which candidate is worth bringing in for interviews. There seem to be a large opportunity for new business here.

I'm confused by what signal SO answered for you, with regard to finding quality talents?
I haven’t used the SO recruiting tool. But I’d imagine it would let me skim the questions a candidate have been asking / answering. So I get a sense of their technical / communication skill, and passion about their domain.
Were you using the recruitment tools?
Yes, the LinkedIn recruiter account.
