LinkedIn About section checker
Paste your About section to see how it reads against the HiringCoachAI rubric. LinkedIn allows 2,600 characters, and readers see only the start before See more, so open with what you do and for whom.
What this checks
The rule-based About checks: length, a target keyword near the start, no greeting opener, first person voice, buzzword density and scannable structure. Each result names its rule and the fix.

Questions about the LinkedIn About section
How long can a LinkedIn About section be?
2,600 characters. LinkedIn does not publish its limits in one place, so we mark this figure unverified and show the date we last checked it on the methodology page.
How much of my About section shows before See more?
We use about 200 characters as an estimate for a phone. It is not a LinkedIn figure, so put your target role and your clearest point in the first lines.
Does this page use AI or store my text?
No to both. The checks are rule-based and run in your browser. Checks that need an AI judgment are not run here, and nothing you type is sent to a server, saved or used for analytics.
Is this a LinkedIn score?
No. It is a HiringCoachAI rubric, not a LinkedIn metric. Not affiliated with or endorsed by LinkedIn. It does not predict views, messages or interviews.
