Yup, I add "open to work" or whatever it's called (haven't logged in for a few years), update some things, and then get spammed by recruiters. That's how I got my current job, and it's how I'll probably get my next, because actually applying for stuff doesn't actually result in interviews.

I have the benefit of experience though. I've been around the block a bit, so I stand out.
