Yes I am.

Yeah, been on there a few years. Got an email from an old Sprint guy I use to work with the other day.

Get some recruiters sending me emails about jobs that I have no interest in is about the only downside I've seen.

Yep....been on it for about 3 years
very good tool for networking and doesnt cost anything for the basic package

I'm on it, though I don't really use it much.

I just started using it.....I had avoided it thus far, but several of my peers are on it and speak highly of it. Just wanted to get a feel for how many people here use it also.

Yup love it.

I found it very useful for interviews. Especially informational ones. Find out the decision maker, then find a guy who knows a guy who knows that decision maker. You'll be surprised at how many people in your network are only 1 or 2 networks away from a person who has the power to get you a job.

yup but not sure why

I'm on it but haven't really done much. I must say, though, that it seems like a much better tool for businesspeople than other stuff like Twitter. I really should use it more.

Have any of you switched jobs through a head hunter or hired an employee through one?

4 out of my last 5 jobs I've been recuited for by head hunters.

Joes on linkedin.

I've talked to several, and almost interviewed through them. I have ended up not going through the head hunter and looked at local or internet jobs available pages and probably found the business they were working for. I think it helps in negotiating a higher salary as they don't have to pay the commission.

I have one. http://www.linkedin.com/in/d o m t o s c o
