Recommendation examples by relationship
From a manager: “I managed Tomás for two years on our support team.” From a peer: “Ana and I sat on the same product team for three years.” From a client: “Kofi built our website, and it’s still the thing customers compliment first.” From someone they managed: “Jess was my first manager, and the best one I’ve had.” Pick your relationship and the generator opens the right way.
One example beats ten adjectives
Anyone can call someone “dedicated”. Only you can say they wrote the customer reply script in an hour when billing double-charged 3,000 people, then called the twenty angriest customers themselves.
Your job is to remember one moment like that. Think about a deadline, a crisis, a time they helped you. The generator turns it into a recommendation.
Tip: Mention how you know them in the first line. A recommendation from their manager carries different weight from one by a client, and readers want to know which it is.
How to send it on LinkedIn
Open their profile, scroll to Recommendations and choose to recommend them. Pick your relationship and their position at the time, paste the text and send. They can choose whether to show it on their profile.
LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters, but the best recommendations are short. This tool writes 80 to 180 words.
Ask for one back
Recommendations work both ways. After you send one, it’s natural to ask for one in return. Make sure your profile is worth recommending: a clear headline from the LinkedIn headline generator and an About section from the About section generator.
