Except indeed has replaced every job listing and recruitment. Even the "top" recruiting firms now are doing all their work on indeed.

Yep. Comes down to money and they can’t make big money off you if you hide behind the great LinkedIn pay wall. Look, recruiters like everyone else are trying to milk every penny out of their sale (you). You say “top” but are they exclusive? Are you applying at the company portal? Can you find this job yourself and apply direct? Top recruiters doesn’t mean as much as is used to. Right now you’re one of 30 applicants being submitted by a semi-competent recruiter that uses a tool to evaluate how much your resume fits and how much profit they can make if they bring you in under the salary range.

Indeed is a crap job site used by cheap recruiters. at least with LinkedIn you’re better armed with searching.
