LinkedIn headline checker
Paste your headline to see how it reads against the HiringCoachAI rubric. LinkedIn allows 220 characters, and search results show only the start, so lead with your target job title.
What this checks
The rule-based headline checks: that you wrote one, its length, your target title, whether the title sits in the part search shows, skill terms and buzzwords. Each result names its rule and the fix.

Questions about the LinkedIn headline
How long can a LinkedIn headline be?
220 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 headline shows in search?
We use about 60 characters as an estimate. It is not a LinkedIn figure and can vary by screen, so put your target title first and keep the rest as support.
Is the headline I paste stored?
No. The checks run in your browser. 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.
