Take a look at this link written by Lou Adler on his site targetted at recruiters (Performance Based Hiring). Lou is an individual that is passionate about helping recruiters find the top talent for an organisation. The top 20% that is more than likely responsible for 80% of the companies results in any area.
As you will see from the article having your professional profile complete and up to date will allow you access to opportunities that may have been passing you by. It is also very clear from this that you need to treat your online profile as you do your CV / resume. Remember, first impressions last, and as you do start to go through the process of exploring an opportunity you need to make sure the information about you is consistent and factual.
LinkedIn are not the only sites that are used by recruiters. Others such as ZoomInfo, Xing, Plaxo are all used. Get to use one well and then adopt others as you see fit. The key is to ensure there is consistency between them all, and build time into your week to manage and create new links within your network.
