I joined LinkedIn, but that's about it, and within a few days, I recieved an email from a headhunter I'd used after my contract position with IBM ended 25 years ago (he actually did earn his fee back then - the hiring co. paid), asking me if I was me ? From my experience in corporate america (IT), a headhunter will likely eliminate you from even being considered in many/most cases. What co is going to pay 10s of thousands to a HH when there are so many other ways to see qualified candidates in this job market...YMMV.
