I was at a dinner club event last night which I discovered via linkedin. It was a fun night, met some interesting people and I may have found myself an accountant and a "wealth manager" out of it.Comment

Plus people/agents advertise jobs in groups, so if you join you get alerts etc.
Seems to have worked for me, to the extent I've got two interviews out of it.Hang on - there is actually a place called Cheddar?? - cailin maith

I've yet to find LinkedIn usesful but I don't use it actively.Comment

I'll back up Snaw's comments here - my LinkedIn profile is generating calls from companies direct, no agency involvement. Also - the proportion of proper leads from niche agents compared with traditional routes is rising. Had 3 or 4 interviews out of it so far.Comment

Its not bad, I only have one agent as a contact but that is a firm I know and respect plus they mainly deal in roles in my area. So far I've only had 2 companies contact me directly, one from a very large Linux company and had a rather long and interesting teleconference with them. The other was no good as it was in Pennsylvania!“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment
