Say what job you want Job title, location, top skills. These are the keywords a recruiter types into LinkedIn search. Use the common job title and the skills that show up in most job ads for that role. 2. Upload your LinkedIn PDF or paste your profile Profile → More (or Resources) → Save to PDF. Drag the PDF onto the box and it fills in your headline, location, About, skills and languages. Then tick the settings only you can see, like Open to Work. 3. Click Analyse and see what to fix Free account. Score, missing keywords and AI rewrites. Create a free account to see your result: the Boolean search a recruiter would run for your role, which words your profile is missing, an 8-point score with the biggest fixes first, and an AI rewrite of your headline and the start of your About. ## How recruiters search LinkedIn Most recruiters start with a keyword search, often written as a Boolean query. To find a full stack developer in London who knows JavaScript and CSS, they might type: "full stack developer" AND "london" AND javascript AND css LinkedIn only returns profiles that contain those words. So the words on your profile decide whether you appear at all, before anyone reads it. This checker builds that search from your target job and shows which words your profile is missing. ## The 8 things this checks The score is out of 100. Each part is something that changes whether a recruiter finds you, sees your full profile, or can reach you. - Headline (20): your target job title, word for word, near the start. The common title, so “Software Engineer”, not “SDE II”. - Skills (20): the top skills for your target role in your headline, your About and, most of all, your Skills section. - Spoken languages (8): every language you speak, because recruiters filter by language. - Open to Work (12): switched on, with every location you can work in and your target job titles. - Public profile (10): photo and all sections visible on the version logged-out visitors and Google see. - Contact email (12): an email address in your About, because recruiters have a limited number of InMails. - Activity (10): following your target companies, commenting on their posts, and sharing your own. - Reply to messages (8): answering recruiters, even to say no, so you look active and likely to respond. ## Why upload the PDF instead of pasting a URL? LinkedIn shows logged-out visitors, and any tool that fetches your URL, little more than your name and headline, and it blocks automated reading of profiles. The “Save to PDF” export is LinkedIn's own copy of your profile. Open your profile, click More (on some accounts it's under Resources), choose Save to PDF, and drop the file here. The PDF only includes your top 3 skills, so paste the rest of your Skills list for an accurate score. FAQ ## Questions ### How do recruiters find candidates on LinkedIn? Mostly by keyword search on job title, location and skills, often as a Boolean query like "data engineer" AND "berlin" AND python AND airflow. They then filter by things like language and Open to Work. Your profile has to contain the same words to come up. ### Can I just paste my LinkedIn URL? Not for a full check. LinkedIn hides most of a profile from logged-out visitors and blocks tools from reading it. Drag in the PDF from “Save to PDF” on your profile, or paste the sections. ### Should I put my email on LinkedIn? Yes, in your About section. Recruiters have a limited number of InMail messages a month, so an email makes you easier to contact. You can create an address just for your job search, like annasmithqa\@gmail.com. ### Is my profile uploaded or stored? The PDF is read in your browser and the PDF file itself is never uploaded. When you click Analyse, the profile text is sent to our server and to Anthropic's Claude AI to score it and write the suggestions. We don't save your profile or the result. ### Is the LinkedIn profile checker free? Yes. You need a free Mockly account to see your result, so we can keep the AI review free for everyone. No card needed. More questions?
