I managed Tomás for two years on our customer support team. The week our billing system double-charged 3,000 customers, Tomás didn't wait for a script. He wrote one himself in an hour, shared it with the whole team, and personally called the twenty angriest customers. By Friday, most of them had thanked us. That's Tomás: calm when things go wrong, and quick to make life easier for everyone around him. Any team that talks to customers would be lucky to have him.

Paste it on their profile under Recommendations, then Recommend.

A LinkedIn recommendation
with a real story in it.

Someone asks you for a recommendation. You say yes straight away, because you like them. Then the request sits in your inbox for three weeks, because what do you even write? “Hard-working, dedicated, a great team player” fits everyone, so it says nothing.

This free LinkedIn recommendation generator asks how you know the person, for how long, and one thing they did that you remember. Then it writes a recommendation in your words: how you worked together, the story of that moment, the strengths it shows, and a clear endorsement at the end. It reads like a colleague who actually worked with them, because you did.

How to write a LinkedIn recommendation

  1. Add their first name and what they do.
  2. Pick how you know them: you managed them, they managed you, same team and so on.
  3. Write one thing they did that you remember, in a sentence or two.
  4. Write it, read it once, and paste it on their profile.

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.

Questions about the LinkedIn recommendation generator.

How do I write a good LinkedIn recommendation?

Say how you know them, tell one specific thing they did, name the strengths it shows, and end with a clear endorsement. Keep it to a few short paragraphs.

How long should a LinkedIn recommendation be?

LinkedIn allows up to 3,000 characters, but 80 to 200 words reads best. Long enough for one real story, short enough to finish.

Can I write a recommendation for my manager?

Yes. Pick “They managed me”. Focus on how they helped you grow or handled a hard moment, which is what future teams want to know about a manager.

Will it make things up?

No. It only uses what you type. It won’t invent projects, numbers or job titles.
