accepting add invites from HR on linkedin

So, I started working full time a few months ago and have been getting linkedin invitations from HR people from firms I turned down during the recruiting process. I'd like to keep in touch with them (who knows, they may be useful contacts in the future) but I have no desire to leave my company (and it's unlikely I'll want to ever lateral to these other firms).

Not sure how it will look to my colleagues if I start accepting all these invites after only having just started. I also don't want these HR people trawling through my own contacts for headhunting purposes. What would you do?

Exactly why I'm ok with facebook as well....
