How to write a LinkedIn recommendation

Three inputs, three angles to choose from.

1

Add the person and your relationship

Enter who you are recommending and how you worked together (their manager, their report, a peer, a client). This sets the whole tone, because a manager writes differently than a peer.

2

Name what actually stood out

Add their role and one or two specific strengths or moments. The more concrete the detail, the less generic the result. Leave it blank and it stays qualitative rather than inventing things.

3

Pick a tone and generate

Warm, professional, or concise. You get three distinct angles per run, so you can pick the framing that fits. Copy it, add the one detail only you would know, and paste it into the recommendation box on their profile.

Frequently asked questions

Everything about writing a LinkedIn recommendation.

What should a LinkedIn recommendation include?
A good recommendation opens with your relationship and context (how you worked together and for how long), gives one or two concrete reasons the person is good to work with, and closes with a clear endorsement. Specific beats glowing: one real moment or strength lands harder than a list of adjectives.
How long should a LinkedIn recommendation be?
Two to four short paragraphs is the sweet spot, roughly 75 to 150 words. Long enough to feel genuine and specific, short enough that people actually read it. A single vague line reads as a favor; three tight paragraphs read as a real endorsement.
Is this LinkedIn recommendation generator free?
The first two generations are free with no signup, so you can see the quality before committing. After that, you sign up to keep going. We are upfront about the limit rather than blurring the result, because the tool costs real AI compute per run.
How do I write a recommendation that does not sound generic?
Feed it specifics. A named strength or a real moment beats a list of adjectives. The generator will not invent details you did not provide, so the more concrete your input, the better it reads. For longer profile copy, try the About generator.
Should a LinkedIn recommendation be first or third person?
First person. You are the one recommending, so write as yourself: "I managed Priya for two years..." Third person reads stiff and distant on LinkedIn. The tool always writes in your first-person voice as the recommender.
How do I ask someone for a LinkedIn recommendation?
Ask people you actually worked closely with, and make it easy for them. A short note that reminds them of a specific project and offers to draft something they can edit gets far more yeses than a blank LinkedIn request. Many people will happily approve a draft you write for them, which is exactly what this tool is for.
Will the recommendation sound like AI?
It is written to avoid the usual AI tells (no buzzwords, no "delve" or "in today's landscape", no hashtag soup) and it will not fabricate numbers, titles, or projects. It is still a draft. Read it, add the one detail only you would know, and it will sound like you wrote it.
