I kept my profile there for a while from 2011-2012 and at the time I didn't get any leads. When I actively searched for job postings there, they mostly seemed to be within a few core areas, usually aligning with the same things Stack Overflow proper has a lot of activity in: .NET, enterprise Java, etc.

As a web developer working in stuff like PHP or Ruby, I just chalked it up to me being in the wrong venue. Over time, I've gotten better leads and interviews from stuff like We Work Remotely and even Indeed. From my experience, the stuff SO Careers was optimizing for and prioritizing on profile pages wasn't really important for landing an interview request.

All that said, a lot can change in 2 years and it seems SO Careers's success somewhat speaks for itself.
