Recruiters search LinkedIn by keywords, so a profile they cannot find gets no messages. Upload your LinkedIn PDF. Get a score out of 100, every issue in each section with the fix, the words your target jobs use, and AI rewrites you check before using.
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.
Each part of your profile gets a mark out of 10: headline, About, experience, skills, education and the rest. The fix list puts the biggest gains first and says roughly how long they take. Press one and the page opens that section with the fix and the box to type it in.
In a search result only the start of your headline shows. On your profile only the first lines of About show before “see more”. The page cuts yours at those points, so you can tell if the words that matter make it in.
Paste one to three job posts. The page lists every skill they ask for, how many posts ask for it, and whether your headline, About, roles and skills list show it. Add the ones you have; leave the ones you do not.
Fix my profile writes three headlines, a new About and new text for each role, from what you already wrote. Every change shows next to your old version. A blank marks any number only you know, and a skill you never wrote is flagged so it never slips in.
LinkedIn’s Save to PDF only works on a computer. On a phone, press “On a phone? Copy it part by part”: the page walks you through your headline, About, each role and your skills in the order the app shows them, with a box for each. Tap the pencil in the app, select all, copy, paste. You get the same score and fixes a PDF gets.
Choose your photo and the page checks its size, shape and light against LinkedIn’s rules in your browser. Press Get AI feedback for plain notes on your face in the frame, the light, the background and the crop, and the one fix that helps most; ClapAssist never stores the photo. No banner? Make one at 1584 by 396 pixels with the job you want and three skills, and save it as a PNG.
Six parts, 100 points. A check you pass gets its full points, a partial one about half. Every check shows its points in the review.
| Part and what it checks | Points |
|---|---|
| Headline: written by you, not “Title at Company” (3), uses the space (3), your job title (4), skills recruiters search for (4), what you do in the first 70 characters (2), no buzzwords or job-hunt words (2), easy to read (2) | 20 |
| About: written (3), long enough (3), strong first lines before “see more” (4), numbers as proof (3), keywords (3), written as you (1), short paragraphs (1), a next step at the end (1), no buzzwords (1) | 20 |
| Experience: roles listed (3), every recent role described (6), results with numbers (5), lines that start with an action (4), right amount of detail (3), a clear job title (2), month and year on every role (2) | 25 |
| Skills: how many (5), top skills match the jobs (4), job skills on your list (4), top skills backed by your text (2) | 15 |
| Education: school (2), degree and subject (2), years (1), licenses and certificates (1) | 6 |
| Other: photo (3), banner (2), custom profile link (2), location (1), recommendations (2), connections (2), Featured (1), Open to Work (1) | 14 |
A PDF cannot show your photo, banner, recommendations or connections, and shows only your top skills. The review asks about those in one click each and leaves them out of the score until you answer. The keyword match is a separate number: 70 points for the job skills you show (a skill in your headline or skills list counts in full, one only in About or a role counts 80%), 15 for the job title in your headline, 15 for it in your latest role or the start of About.
LinkedIn does not publish how it ranks profiles in search. These checks follow what LinkedIn’s own help pages say (limits, photo and banner sizes, custom links) and what recruiters search by: job titles, skills, place and school.
On a computer, open your LinkedIn profile, press Resources (or More) under your name, then Save to PDF. LinkedIn downloads the file at once. It does not work in the phone app, and LinkedIn offers it only for profiles in English.
Yes. The score, every check, the keyword match, the photo check, the previews and the edit screen are free with no account. The AI buttons have a small free daily allowance per connection.
The file is read 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 each one names. What you send to the AI writers is saved to ClapAssist so our tools can fill it in for you next time; see or delete it at clapassist.com/my-data/. A photo sent for AI feedback is never stored.
Yes. LinkedIn's Save to PDF does not work in the phone app, so press "On a phone? Copy it part by part". In the LinkedIn app, tap the pencil next to each part, select all of the text, copy it and paste it into the matching box: headline, About, each role and your skills. The review is the same one a PDF gets.
Yes, in two ways. The free check runs in your browser: file type, size, shape, light and contrast against LinkedIn's own rules. Press Get AI feedback for notes on how much of the frame your face fills, the light, the background, the crop and your expression. That sends a 320-pixel copy to our server and Google Gemini on Google Cloud; ClapAssist never stores it.
Open Photo check and use Make a banner. Type the job you want and three skills, pick colors, and download a PNG in LinkedIn's size, 1584 by 396 pixels. The words sit to the right so your photo does not cover them on a computer. It is drawn in your browser and saved to your computer; nothing is uploaded.
Out of 100 from six parts: headline 20, About 20, experience 25, skills 15, education 6 and other things (photo, banner, profile link, location, recommendations, connections, Featured, Open to Work) 14. Every check shows its points. Things a PDF cannot show are asked in one click and left out until you answer.
80 or more is strong: every section is filled in, the headline and About say what you do in the words recruiters search for, and your roles show results. Under 60 usually means empty role descriptions, a default headline or a short About.
Recruiters find people by searching titles and skills. Paste one to three posts for the job you want and the page lists the skills they ask for, how many posts ask for each, and whether your headline, About, roles and skills list show it. Add only the ones you really have.
The setting that shows it to recruiters only keeps the green frame off your photo, so use that if the frame bothers you. Either way, what gets you found is the headline, the skills list and the About text carrying the words recruiters search for; that is what this check scores.
Recruiters search by job title, skills and location. Put the exact title you want in the headline, list the skills the job posts name, and repeat the main ones in About and in each role. The keyword section here shows which of those words your profile is missing.
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.
