LinkedIn appears to be the premier site for connecting job-seekers with job openings, teeming with recruiters and detailed job postings. Therefore I puzzle over why it is so difficult to actually perform job searches there.

Entering some job title or technology into the search field yields thousands of non-specific results, most of which are labeled "promoted."

Entering a term surrounded by quotes finds only jobs with that specific term in the job title.

Say I wanted to find a product management job that oversees telephony products. Entering "product manager" and "telephony" produces nothing. Removing the quotes from "telephony" brings up every product manager job in the platform. How does this work?
