For example, I'm in Canada (Vancouver) and I see a lot of LinkedIn + school career pages

Based in the UK, work in accountancy.

Got my current job from an internal promotion/sideways move from Purchase Ledger to Commercial Finance. I was in the process of being made redundant before I got the promotion. Before that, I got my job through Reed (the agency.)

I'm not currently looking for jobs, but I'd honestly look on Indeed if I was seeking something. There are very few recruitment agencies I'd actually recommend, and those are: Red Recruitment, Robert Half, Reed and Ashley Rees Associates. A few agencies are on my shit-list but I won't namedrop them.

LinkedIn to me is just 90% recruiter spam and 10% corporate boot-licking. It's where you go when you want to post disingenuous motivational quotes about how great the working world is.
