How to Get LinkedIn Recommendations

LinkedIn recommendations are powerful social proof that enhances your professional credibility. A profile with strong recommendations stands out to recruiters.

Requesting Recommendations

Ask former colleagues, managers, clients, or partners who can speak to your strengths. Personalize each request by mentioning specific projects you worked on together.

Writing for Others

Writing recommendations for others often encourages them to return the favor. Be specific about the person's strengths with concrete examples.
