Could you please explain like what value you derive out of it. LinkedIn primary purpose is to build your professional network so that you can find your next job easily. It does not work out because programmers does not vouch for someone unless they have worked directly in my experience.

I know of at least half a dozen people who have found great jobs by HR reaching out to recruit them on LinkedIn.
