Is it possible to get someone's phone number off of LinkedIn? I've had two completely random (local) numbers contact me today about job oriented conversations. Not sure how they got my cell number

If you have listed your number on LinkedIn, yes!

Just yesterday actually my boyfriend and I found that his cell phone number was visible to all of LinkedIn even though he thought he set the privacy to only himself. We checked his settings and it looked like it was private, but when we looked at his profile in the public view again, the number was still visible. He had to delete it to get it off there. He thinks the app connected with his phone somehow because he never manually entered the number - must have randomly confirmed to having his profile ... linked in ... (ha ha) with this phone.

It's not listed. I checked. It's on LinkedIn for my security check as a confirmation

Maybe they got your business card or one of your colleagues passed your number?

OP you didn't answer & I didn't want to leave a vm

I don't know how it happens but they are able to get ahold of phone lists at companies. Maybe one of your ex-coworkers shared it without your knowledge? Sneaky people but it's possible they got it through those phone lists.

There's worse things than people calling you you with job offers. Just politely decline and feel lucky that you're in a situation where jobs are at your disposal. There's many people in the country who aren't working that would die to have recruiters just call them up with job offers.
