LinkedIn profile optimizer

Your headline is the only part most recruiters read. This rewrites it for the job you want next, not the one you have.

Paste your headline. Better results if you add the about section too.

The headline does the work

Recruiters search LinkedIn like a database. Your headline's the field they see in the results list, sitting next to 200 other people.

"Software Engineer at Acme" tells them nothing. It's a job title plus an employer. They can already see both.

The format that works is stacked. What you are, what you work with, one thing you did. Recruiters scan it in under a second.

The about section nobody reads

Most about sections open with "I am a passionate professional with a proven track record". That sentence is invisible because everyone's got it.

The first 12 words are all that show before the fold. Put something concrete there. Numbers if you've got them. A real problem you solved if you haven't.

Write for the next job

If you're switching, your profile should read like someone who's already doing the new thing, using evidence you genuinely have.

That's not lying. It's ordering the truth so the relevant parts sit on top.

Anything the tool puts in [square brackets] is a blank for you. We won't invent a number you never gave us.

A found profile still needs applications going out. Sendout finds roles the hour they post, applies through the real application forms, then emails the hiring manager from your own inbox. First week is free. See how it works

What makes Sendout different

Three things. They happen to be the three biggest complaints people have about every other tool in this category.

It works from your own accounts. Applications and outreach go out from your real email and LinkedIn. Human pace. Your voice. Your reputation carries them, not a vendor's server IP. Nothing sprays.
It fills real application forms. Sendout completes actual ATS applications on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby and Workday. It answers the open-ended questions in your voice. This is a real submission, not a browser autofill you still have to babysit.
It filters ghost jobs. Roughly one in five postings is stale or a repost nobody reads. Sendout drops those and pursues live openings where a real hiring person can be reached.

When a recruiter replies, the conversation lands in one inbox. You can take over any thread with a click. You show up to the conversations. Sendout does the busywork.

Frequently asked

Is this LinkedIn optimizer free?

Yes. No signup, no card, no email wall. Paste what you have and the rewrites come back.

How long should a LinkedIn headline be?

Under 200 characters and scannable in a second. The pipe format works well: what you are, your main tools, one real outcome.

Will it invent things about me?

No. If a strong line needs a detail you did not provide, the tool leaves a square-bracket placeholder for you to fill rather than making one up.

Does the about section really matter?

Less than the headline for search, more once someone clicks. The first 12 words are what show before the fold, so those carry most of the weight.

Get found, then get applied

Sendout finds fresh, real openings and applies for you. Everything goes out from your own email and LinkedIn, every day. You just take the conversations.
