LinkedIn Profile Audit: See What Recruiters See

In short

Many profiles are written once and never revisited. They still list an old title, leave the headline as a plain job title, and have an empty About section. Recruiters use search to find candidates, and a profile that does not mention the right role and skills is harder to find. An audit helps you spot those gaps in one sitting.

What the linkedin profile audit does

The tool starts from your resume, because that is the document you already keep accurate, and from the role you are aiming for. It then suggests how your LinkedIn profile could describe the same career in a way that suits LinkedIn's format.

LinkedIn is not a copy of a resume. The headline is short and searchable, the About section is written in first person, and skills are tags. The audit adapts your material to each of those spots, and you choose what to keep.

• Headline options that put your target role and main skills near the start.
• A draft About section written in a natural first-person voice from your resume details.
• Skills to feature, based on the role you want and the work in your resume.
• Notes on consistency, so job titles, dates and employers match your resume.
• Copy buttons so you can paste text into LinkedIn and edit it there.

How it works

1. 1

   Pick your resume

   Choose the resume that best reflects your current work. A recent, accurate resume gives the audit better material to work from.

2. 2

   Say what role you want

   Add your target job title or field so the suggestions point toward the searches you want to appear in, not just your current title.

3. 3

   Run the audit

   The tool compares your career details with the way LinkedIn profiles are searched and produces suggestions for the headline, About section and skills.

4. 4

   Review and edit

   Read each suggestion, remove anything that is not true or does not sound like you, and rewrite in your own voice where needed.

5. 5

   Update LinkedIn

   Paste the final text into your profile, add the skills you can stand behind, and check that dates and titles match your resume.

Example

This sample is made up to show the format. Use only the skills and claims that are true for you.

What you get, and what it cannot do

What you get

• Several headline options to choose from or combine.
• A first draft of an About section you can rewrite in your voice.
• A short list of skills worth featuring for your target role.
• A profile that tells the same story as your resume.

What it cannot do

• It does not log in to LinkedIn or change your profile. You copy text across yourself.
• It cannot promise more profile views, messages or job offers, and it does not know LinkedIn's private ranking rules.
• It cannot verify your facts. Check titles, dates and claims before you publish anything.
• AI-written text can sound generic, so rewrite parts of it to sound like you.

AI output is a draft. Read it, correct it and keep only what is true. No tool, including this one, can guarantee an interview, an offer or a specific ATS result.

Who it is for

• Active job seekersRecruiters often check LinkedIn after reading a resume, so a matching, clear profile supports your application.
• People changing careersA headline and About section can explain where you are heading, not only where you have been.
• Professionals who have not updated their profile in yearsA structured review is quicker than starting from a blank page.
• Freelancers and consultantsA clear description of what you do helps the right clients and recruiters understand your focus.

Tips for better results

• Use a current resume as the source. If your resume is out of date, update it first so the suggestions reflect your real recent work.
• Choose one target role instead of three. A focused headline is easier for recruiters to understand than a long list of titles.
• Write the About section in your own voice. Read the draft aloud and change any sentence you would never say.
• Add skills you can discuss in an interview and remove ones that no longer fit the direction you want.
• Check your photo, location and contact settings yourself. The audit works from text and does not review those parts of the page.

Plans and credits

Each audit costs 30 AI credits, and this tool needs the Pro plan or higher. Creating an account is free and includes 50 AI credits a month, the resume builder, resume import, PDF export and the job application tracker, but the AI tool itself is a Pro feature.

Pro is $19 a month with 1,000 AI credits, which covers up to about 33 audits a month if you use it for nothing else. Elite is $49 a month with 5,000 credits, or about 166 audits. Credits are shared across all AI tools, so your real number depends on what else you run. Current prices and details are on the pricing page.

Your LinkedIn text is also a good source for a resume. The LinkedIn resume guide shows how to turn a profile into an ATS-friendly document.
