A bubbly, breathless young thing recruiting for Google called me almost two 
years ago based on my LinkedIn profile.  However, it was pretty clear that she 
(or her search software) had not bothered to read that profile.  I know how 
Google's security folks work and so I asked whether they had decided to form a 
red team - she had no idea what I was talking about.  After a couple of 
call-backs she became discouraged and quit bothering me.

I got a call from The Google a few weeks ago, in which they expressed a desire 
to hire me.  The guy was a Google headhunter, and he found out about me & my 
HPC background by searching LinkdIn.

So, yes: companies look at LinkedIn.

This may be the answer to the endorsement up-tick.  I got a direct email asking 
for an endorsement, see below.

The question is: was this generated by LI? .. or by the person themselves.

Do companies hiring employees look at their LI page?

Dear Owen,
I'm sending this to ask you for a brief recommendation of my work that I can 
include in my LinkedIn profile. If you have any questions, let me know.

Thanks in advance for helping me out.
