LinkedIn headline generator built on what recruiters search
"Passionate professional seeking new opportunities" tells no one anything, and recruiters do not search for it. With this prompt your todo.is agent reads a few job posts you want, finds the titles and skills that keep coming up, and writes fifteen headlines that are both searchable and human.
The prompt
- Write 15 LinkedIn headline options for me. My current or last role: [YOUR ROLE]. Years of experience and best result: [EXPERIENCE AND ONE RESULT]. I want to be found for: [TARGET ROLE]. Here are job posts I like: [JOB POST LINKS OR "SEARCH FOR ME"]. Read them and list the job titles, skills and tools that come up most. Then write 5 keyword-first headlines, 5 that lead with a result, and 5 that say who I help. Each must be under 220 characters and start with words a recruiter would search, because only the start shows in search results and comments. No "guru", "ninja" or "passionate". If I am job hunting, add 2 versions that say I am open to [ROLE TYPE AND LOCATION] without sounding desperate.
What to change
- [YOUR ROLE]: e.g. "Senior Data Analyst at a fintech".
- [EXPERIENCE AND ONE RESULT]: e.g. "6 years, built a churn model that cut cancellations 12%".
- [TARGET ROLE]: The job title you want to show up for, e.g. "Analytics Manager".
- [JOB POST LINKS OR "SEARCH FOR ME"]: Paste 2 or 3 job post links, or let your agent find typical posts for the role.
- [ROLE TYPE AND LOCATION]: e.g. "remote analytics roles in the EU" or "product roles in Toronto".

How to do it with todo.is
- Copy the prompt and fill in your role, best result, target job and 2 or 3 job post links.
- Paste it on the Today screen in todo.is or send it to your agent on Telegram.
- Your agent reads the posts, lists the keywords it found and writes 15 headlines with a top pick.
- Update your headline on LinkedIn yourself, and ask for a matching About section in the same chat.
Tips for a better result
- Lead with the job title you want to be found for. Recruiters search titles first, then filter by skills.
- One number is worth ten adjectives. A real result makes a headline stand out in a list of similar profiles.
- Keep the first 50 to 60 characters strong. That part shows next to your name in comments and search.
- Ask your agent to remember your career details so your resume, headline and About section all use the same keywords.
LinkedIn headline generator: FAQ
- How long can a LinkedIn headline be? The LinkedIn headline allows up to 220 characters. Only the beginning shows in many places, so put the most important words first.
- Should I put my job title in my LinkedIn headline? Yes, in most cases. Recruiters often search by job title, so including the title you want helps you show up.
- Should I say I am looking for a job in my headline? You can, but keep it confident, like "Open to analytics manager roles". LinkedIn also has an Open to Work setting you can use instead.
- Can todo.is update my LinkedIn profile? No. Your agent writes the text and you paste it into LinkedIn yourself.
