Linkedin is favoured by pimps because it's cheaper than the job boards and in many cases more reliable.
I have agents on my profile, but my profile is carefully worded to avoid fishing, and I don't allow people to see my connections (simple option in settings).
And yes, I've found some great contacts and work through it.
I've had pimps use my links to fish for my previous clients, and also bothering of contractors I'm linked to.
So I now only link to pimps that I have been in a contract with.
I wish there was a way, to control what your connections can see.
Yes you can limit people from accessing your connections list.
at the top right hand corner, select accounts and settings.
then, underneath privacy settings choose 'connections browse' and then select the options you want

The LinkedIn network is for me to find work (and give it, of course). It isn't for pimps to swipe opportunities away from me.
