Your headline is the line under your name, and it is what recruiters search and see first. Type the job you do or want and the skills you want to be found for. Get five headlines in different shapes, a mark out of 10 for the one you have now, and a preview of how it looks in a search result.
Not in the phone app, and only for profiles in English (LinkedIn’s rule). On a phone? .
The PDF shows only your top skills. LinkedIn’s data export has everything: Settings → Data privacy → Get a copy of your data, tick Profile, Positions, Skills, Recommendations, Connections, and LinkedIn emails a ZIP, usually within minutes. Drop the ZIP here as it is.
Copy your profile from the LinkedIn app, one part at a time. Open your profile in the app and tap the pencil next to a part. Press and hold the text, tap Select all, then Copy, come back here and paste it in the matching box. Type anything the app will not let you copy, such as dates.
The headline is the line under your name. Tap the pencil at the top of your profile to see it.
Tap the pencil next to About, then select all of the text and copy it.
Tap the pencil on a job. Copy its description; type the title, company and dates. Up to five recent roles.
Open Skills and tap Show all. Type or paste them, one per line or with commas.
Your profile and the posts are read in this browser. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you press an AI button.
Four steps, one screen. The app above is already open on your headline.
This is the page’s own sample profile (press See a sample in the app above to open it): an operations analyst who wants a supply chain data analyst job, with one job post pasted. The marks and notes below are what the seven checks return, word for word. No AI was used for either card.
Operations Analyst at Northwind Logistics
Supply Chain Data Analyst | SQL, Excel | Cut late shipments 18% across 14 warehouses
The second headline uses only facts already on the sample profile: the Excel model, the 14 warehouses and the 18% fewer late shipments. In the app, Write 5 headlines writes five more shapes from the same facts with AI, and each one gets its own mark the moment you press Use this.
The seven checks add up to 20 points, shown as a mark out of 10. In the full review the headline is 20 of the 100 points of the profile score.
Each press gives one headline of each shape, so you can pick the one that sounds like you:
The AI is asked to put the title and one skill in the first 60 characters of every option, so the part a search result shows still says what you do. The mark under each one tells you if it did.
The job you do or want, two or three skills people search for, and the kind of work or people you help. For example: Registered Nurse | Telemetry, ACLS | Cardiac care on a busy unit. Keep the title first, because only the start shows in search results and next to your comments.
Up to 220 characters, and the page counts them as you type. Only the start shows in a search result or next to a comment, so the preview cuts yours at about 70 characters. LinkedIn does not publish that number; it is an estimate.
The job you are aiming for, your subject, and two skills you can back with a project or internship, for example: Computer Science Student | Python, SQL | Aspiring Data Analyst. Type the job you want in the first box and the headline writer builds on it.
No. The check marks those as job-hunt words. LinkedIn's Open to Work setting already tells recruiters you are looking (you can show it to recruiters only), so the headline can carry your title and skills, which is what they search for.
Yes. Press Review the whole profile, then Start from my resume. Your PDF or Word resume is read in your browser, and the headline writer uses its job titles, skills and the lines that have numbers.
It can work as one proof after your title and skills if it helps for the job you want. Put what you do now, or want to do next, first: the start of the headline is what people see in search.
Yes, with no account. The checks, the marks, the previews and the edit boxes are free with no limit. The AI buttons have a small free daily allowance per connection, and everything else keeps working without them.
It is told not to, and the page checks it anyway. A skill that is nowhere on your profile is highlighted and its button reads Use it anyway; a number you never wrote is flagged; where a number would help, you get a [blank] to fill, and Copy waits until every blank is filled.
Your profile is read and checked in your browser, and your reviews are saved in this browser, with a delete button. Only the AI buttons send anything, and only what the note next to them names. The boxes you send to the AI and its drafts are kept by ClapAssist, so our other tools can fill them in for you; see or delete them at clapassist.com/my-data/. If you ask the AI about your profile photo, the photo itself is never kept.
Every line on your profile is a question waiting to happen: “Walk me through that report you rebuilt.” ClapAssist is an AI interview assistant for Mac and Windows that listens to the call and shows you what to say. It stays out of screen share on every plan; only you can see it.
