A headline that says who you place, and for whom.
Most recruiter headlines are a job title and a slogan. Answer three questions and get up to nine that tell a hiring manager you work in their market.
What makes a recruiter's headline work
Your headline follows you around LinkedIn. It sits under your name in search results, on every comment you leave and on every connection request you send. For a hiring manager it is often the only line they read.
LinkedIn gives you 220 characters. Most recruiters spend them on a job title and a phrase like "connecting great talent with great companies", which could describe anyone in the industry.
A headline that works answers the hiring manager's first question: does this person work in my market? Say who you place, for what kind of company and where. Add your title and firm at the end if there is room.
The generator builds each headline from those parts, so the narrower your answers, the more specific the result.
Questions
How long can a LinkedIn headline be?
Up to 220 characters. Every headline the generator writes shows its character count so you can see how much room is left.
Should my headline say I'm a recruiter?
It can, as long as it also says what you recruit and for whom. "Recruiter" alone tells a hiring manager nothing about whether you know their market.
Can I see examples for my own niche?
Yes. There are worked examples by niche and city on the LinkedIn headline examples pages.
Does it use AI?
No. It assembles headlines from the answers you give, in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
