LinkedIn Premium

How much does LinkedIn premium really increase your chances of a recruiter at a top company reaching out to you for an interview?

No difference, I haven't noticed any increase in inbound recruiter enquiries with or without it

Maybe I'm confused on what LinkedIn premium offers, but why would that help you get more recruiter inquiries? All the recruiters have LinkedIn premium so if they wanted you they would already be reaching out to you wouldn't they? Maybe there's a difference between devs and other roles though.

If you select that you are open to new opportunities, yes I personally noticed the increase in recruiters contacting me. And many were for decent positions that I would have considered. I got an offer as a result of one such interaction leading to on site interviews etc. but went with a different company.

That said... the advice in here is good too: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-really-let-recruiters-know-youre-open-donna-serdula/

You can note that you're interested in opportunities without premium

I found LinkedIn Learning (Lynda) quite helpful that comes bundled with LinkedIn premium not the job search product per sé.

I got my job while on LinkedIn Premium - a recruiter reached out to me. It probably depends on the role, though.

Useless. I subscribed to it when I was jobless. It still throttles the number of messages you can send in a day. So what’s he point of premium then?
