LinkedIn Recommendation Generator

Recommendations people believe are built from moments, not adjectives.

Everyone can tell a template recommendation from a real one in two seconds: templates stack adjectives (“diligent, proactive team player”), real ones tell one small story. The formula that reads as genuine: how you worked together, one concrete moment that shows the strength, and who you'd tell to hire them. This tool keeps your specifics front and center — that's the whole trick — and holds the length to the 60–100 words people actually finish reading.

How to write a recommendation people believe

  • Open with the working relationship and the timeframe. “Priya was my first design hire and we worked together for two years” instantly frames everything that follows as first-hand.
  • Build it around one moment, not a list of traits. The night before launch they caught the pricing bug, the onboarding they rebuilt in three weeks — one scene outweighs ten adjectives.
  • Go deep on one skill instead of shallow on five. A recommendation that's entirely about someone's product instincts is memorable; one that covers teamwork, communication, leadership and attitude is wallpaper.
  • Include the result if you have one. “Activation went up 20%” turns a compliment into evidence — numbers survive skepticism in a way praise never does.
  • Close with a direct endorsement. “If you get the chance to hire her, don't think twice” lands harder than trailing off into pleasantries.

Example output

Who + what they were great at: Priya, my product designer for 2 years at my startup. Redesigned onboarding in 3 weeks, activation went up 20%.

Priya was my product designer for two years, from messy seed-stage to something resembling a real company.

The moment that sums her up: our onboarding was bleeding signups, and she rebuilt the entire flow in three weeks — research calls included, not just screens. Activation went up 20% the month it shipped, and support tickets about setup basically stopped.

She designs like someone who has to live with the consequences, because she made sure she did.

If you get the chance to work with Priya, take it.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a LinkedIn recommendation be?
60–100 words. Long enough for one concrete example, short enough to be read to the end. Nobody has ever finished a 300-word recommendation, and the person you're endorsing pays the price for your rambling.
What should I avoid writing?
Adjective stacks with no evidence. “Detail-oriented team player” describes nobody in particular; “caught a pricing bug the night before launch” describes exactly one person — the one you're recommending. Specifics are the entire currency.
Should I mention weaknesses to seem balanced?
No — a recommendation isn't a performance review. But grounding it in one real moment keeps it credible without needing a caveat. If you can't think of a single concrete moment, that's a sign to politely decline writing it.
Why is this free — what's the catch?
No catch and no signup. This tool is funded by EaseClaw, an AI agent that finds people publicly asking for what you sell and drafts your replies. If the free tool is useful, some people try the $9 trial. That's the whole business model.
