LinkedIn Profile Optimizer
It takes the CV you already built here and rewrites your headline, your about section and your role descriptions for how LinkedIn is actually searched.
This feature is on paid plans. Free accounts can build a CV and run an ATS check first.
What it rewrites
Three parts, because those are the three that decide whether you show up and whether anyone stays. The headline, which is the line recruiters see in search results and the single highest leverage field on the profile. The about section, which is where a person decides in ten seconds whether to keep reading. And your role descriptions, which are usually copied from a CV and read like a job posting rather than a record of what you did.
It works from your CV, so it does not invent employers, dates or results. If you have not written the CV yet, do that first: the rewrite is only as good as the material it is given.
There is also a post generator that turns a CV or a topic into a LinkedIn update, for the part of a job search that is visibility rather than applications.
How recruiters actually find people
Recruiter search is keyword search over a small number of fields, and the headline carries most of the weight. A headline that says Passionate professional seeking new opportunities contains no keyword anyone searches for. A headline that names the role, the specialism and the stack or sector does.
The second thing that matters is completeness. Profiles with a photo, a filled about section and described roles surface more often than empty ones, and they hold attention longer once opened. This is not a trick, it is the same logic as a CV: the reader is looking for a reason to continue.
What a rewrite cannot do is manufacture a network or experience you do not have. If you are changing sector, the profile has to say what you are moving towards, not hide what you are moving from.
Your profile is not your CV pasted in
They serve different readers. A CV is sent for one job and is read by someone who already has your application. A profile is found by someone who has not met you and is deciding whether you are worth a message. That is why a profile can be written in the first person, can say what you are looking for, and should be shorter than the CV it comes from.
The overlap is the evidence. The same numbers, the same employers, the same results, phrased for a reader who is skimming rather than evaluating.
What you need to use it
Profile optimization is a paid plan feature, not a free trial with a blurred result. The reason is cost: every rewrite is a real AI call, and unlike the CV builder there is no free tier version of it that would still be useful.
Free accounts still get the parts that matter most first: build a CV, run an ATS check on it, and download it. What each plan includes is on the pricing page.
Common questions
Does it post to LinkedIn for me?
No. It writes the text and you paste it in. There is no LinkedIn account connection, which also means nothing is posted without you seeing it first.
Will the rewrite sound like everyone else's profile?
It draws on your CV, so the facts are yours. The phrasing is a first draft and worth editing, particularly the first line of the about section, which is the part a reader actually judges.
How long should a headline be?
Short enough to survive truncation in search results, so put the role and the specialism first. Anything after roughly the first half is a bonus, not a plan.
Should my profile and CV say the same things?
The facts must match, because a recruiter will compare them. The framing can differ: the profile is written to be found, the CV is written to be assessed against one posting.
Does this help if I am not job hunting?
A clear headline and about section is how people decide whether to reply to you, so it matters for clients, collaborators and conference invitations too, not only applications.
What language should my profile be in?
The language of the market you want to be found in. If you are looking abroad, English usually reaches more recruiters, and LinkedIn also lets you keep a second profile language.
