I would tend away from anything a third party recruiter send me. Really those guys incentives are not to fit you well, but to throw candidates at their customers and see what sticks to the wall. I've seen that from both sides of those guys (as a candidate and a person selecting candidate for my team).

If it is a HR person from inside the company that contacts me then I would definitely read the offer in details. For me LinkedIn, Emails or SnailMail is the same I can phase out everything if need be.

Something I don't like at all is 3+ interviews. Especially when the first one is just to "present" the offer or the company. That one can be done in conjunction with another (lets say the first technical), or on the phone/skype/hangouts. Don't make me come just for that.

Best job I had got done in one email + one interview with a coding test, and it was a cracking team.

ALSO: PLS understand you can use our online profiles as our CVs stop asking us to come discuss opportunities or to send you another copy! It just proves that you are just spamming from a search result list.
