Recruiter View Simulator

Paste in your LinkedIn headline, About section, and recent roles to see how they might read to a recruiter in a quick first pass, with specific fixes to make. Fair warning: it’s blunt. That’s the point.

Free. No sign-up required.

What you paste is sent to an AI service to create your scan. The simulator doesn’t store it.
