I've gotten jobs through LinkedIn but I've found recruiters will still cold message you via email or phone if they can find it. I also don't post anything. I just try to keep the profile updated and treat it like a living resume. I was job hunting in April and got a job outside of LinkedIn but I had initially talked to the recruiter on LinkedIn a few months ago so I count it as an assist.

One thing to note, I never updated my profile to have that "open to work" banner. My other coworkers who were laid off at the same time still seem to be job hunting.
