I made these same updates to my own profile. Recruiter is now the top title searching for me, and my weekly search appearances went from about 190 to 355 in a month.

A LinkedIn profile optimizer built around the jobs you actually want

There are plenty of tools that score a LinkedIn profile in a vacuum. JobSearchDx doesn't, because a profile isn't findable in the abstract. It's findable, or not, for specific roles. You give it your profile and the actual job descriptions you're targeting, and it reads those jobs for the language that repeats: the titles, skills, and terms recruiters filter and search on. Then it grades how well your profile carries that language and ranks exactly what to change. Same profile, different target jobs, different grade. That's the point.

How JobSearchDx works

• 1️⃣ Paste your LinkedIn profile, or upload screenshots of it.
• 2️⃣ Paste one to five job descriptions you actually want. More jobs sharpen the read, because the tool looks for the language that repeats across them.
• 3️⃣ Get your findability grade out of 100, with a verdict and the biggest problem named.
• 4️⃣ See the ranked fixes, each with before-and-after text ready to paste and the reasoning behind it.
• 5️⃣ Make the changes, then re-run to confirm your grade moved.

What recruiters can actually search on LinkedIn

LinkedIn Recruiter gives recruiters more than 40 filters, including job titles, location, skills, companies, and industry, plus keyword and Boolean search. It now also includes AI-assisted search: a recruiter can describe a candidate in plain language, or paste a whole job description, and LinkedIn's matching can pick up qualifications that aren't literally listed as skills on a profile. The practical consequence: your profile is being read three ways at once, by filters, by exact-match search, and by inference. We wrote up the full mechanics in How Recruiters Find Candidates on LinkedIn in 2026.

What JobSearchDx checks

The grade comes from how your profile lines up against your target jobs across the surfaces recruiter search actually touches: your headline, your About section, your Skills list, your position titles, your experience bullets, and your Open to Work titles. It's looking for the specific gaps that keep a qualified person out of the result set: target-role language missing from the headline, skills recruiters filter on that aren't listed, titles that describe your org chart instead of your work, and experience written in vocabulary nobody searches.

Why a strong-looking profile can still be hard to find

A profile can read beautifully and still not surface, because the parts humans admire and the parts search reads are not the same parts. Your About section and your titles are written for people. Your Skills section is mostly talking to the search engine. A well-written About in the wrong vocabulary, a skills list missing the terms recruiters filter on, a title only your old company uses: none of that looks broken to a human reader, and all of it can keep you out of the search results for the roles you want.

Questions about LinkedIn recruiter findability

Is this the same as a LinkedIn profile review?A human review tells you how your profile reads. JobSearchDx tests something narrower and more mechanical: whether your profile carries the language recruiters filter and search on for the specific jobs you're targeting. It's also a much cheaper first step than a coach or a paid review, and worth doing before either, since it fixes the mechanical layer they'd otherwise spend paid time on.

Do I need job descriptions to use it?One is enough to start, and two to five gives the sharpest read. If you don't have a posting handy, you can use a target role instead.

Does it rewrite my profile for me? It diagnoses first: grade, biggest problem, ranked fixes. The paid report includes paste-ready before-and-after text for each fix, and the chat can rewrite any section while keeping your voice.

Why does the same profile get different grades with different jobs?Because findability is relative to a search. A profile that surfaces well for one role's language can be invisible for another's. The grade measures the match between your profile and the specific jobs you gave it, which is also why it's worth re-running when your target changes.

How do I know if the changes worked? Re-run JobSearchDx to confirm your grade moved, and watch your LinkedIn Search Appearances over the following weeks, specifically the job titles you're being found for. We wrote up how to read that data in LinkedIn Search Appearances: What They Actually Mean.
