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.
