It's the primary method for connecting with recruiters, and all the jobs I've had in the past fifteen years have been due to connections through LinkedIn.
It's not "social media" in the same vein as other platforms.
I almost feel like it's two things -- the recruiter interface that you mention, and separately a social network where people are posting about their professional, and even personal, achievements and adventures -- true or imagined -- completely separate from the recruiting part but sharing a brand and identity provider.
