I've never gotten a job from LinkedIn, though I'm connected to lots of people I know IRL and have loads of IRL recommendations. Most of what I see is generated by recruiters, even agency recruiters. I get loads of contact requests from recruiters looking for a "rockstar"/"10x"/"ninja", and I ignore all of them.

OTOH, I've gotten several jobs via Twitter. Anecdotal, but Twitter is a more powerful business-oriented social media service if you're looking for a job.
