Has a colleague ever asked you for a recommendation and the request has sat unanswered for a fortnight? Not because you did not want to write it, but because you did not know how to start.
Recommendations are hard to write and easy to postpone. The LinkedIn Recommendation Generator gives you a first draft based on what you actually remember about working with someone.
Short answer: The LinkedIn Recommendation Generator turns a few rough notes about a colleague into a written recommendation with a proper structure. Free on EizTools, with message goal, tone, length and personalisation depth all in your control.
What is LinkedIn Recommendation Generator?
It turns your rough notes about a colleague into a written recommendation. You supply the specifics, it supplies the structure and the phrasing.
The options panel is shared with the site's outreach message tools, so it is labelled with Message Goal and Personalization. Set Message Goal to Appreciate and the settings map onto a recommendation exactly as you would want.
What A Specific Recommendation Sounds Like
The difference between a recommendation that helps and one that does nothing is detail. Compare the two shapes.
| Generic | Specific |
|---|---|
| A pleasure to work with, always professional and hard working | Took over a stalled supplier migration and had it finished six weeks later, with no service interruption |
| Great team player with excellent communication skills | Ran our weekly client calls for two years, and clients asked for them by name when they left |
Everything in the right column came from the person writing it. That is the part the tool cannot invent, and the part that makes the recommendation worth having.
How Does LinkedIn Recommendation Generator Work?
- Write what you remember in the prompt box: the role, the project, what they did well.
- Choose which AI model drafts the recommendation.
- Expand the accordion and choose Message Goal, then Personalization, Tone and Message Length.
- Generate and read the draft in the output card.
- Edit it, then copy it into LinkedIn or export as TXT to send for a check first.
| Option | What it controls | Suggested setting |
|---|---|---|
| Message Goal | Connect, Collaborate, Pitch, Network, Sell, Recruit, Follow-Up or Appreciate | Appreciate, which is the closest match to a recommendation |
| Message Length | Short, Normal or Detailed | Normal. Two short paragraphs is the standard length |
| Personalization | High, Medium, Low or Template | High, since a generic recommendation is worse than none |
| Tone | Professional, Friendly, Warm, Confident, Respectful, Persuasive, Casual or Concise | Warm, which reads as genuine without becoming gushing |
The Personalization Depth slider decides how much of the text is about the individual rather than the role. Toggles add a greeting, a call to action, a compliment or a value hook. Custom Instructions is where you note the relationship, such as that you were their manager for two years.
Tip Write three bullet points before you generate anything: what they worked on, one thing they did better than expected, and what you would trust them with next. Those three notes carry the whole recommendation.
Tips And Common Mistakes
Name the work
A project, a client, a problem. Specifics are what a reader believes.
State the relationship
Manager, colleague, client. It tells the reader how much weight to give your view.
Do not overclaim
Superlatives everywhere read as a favour. Honest praise is more persuasive.
No account is needed and no payment is taken anywhere on EizTools, and a different AI family is useful when a draft comes back more formal than the relationship deserves. For structured workplace feedback rather than public praise, the Peer Review Feedback Template covers that.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it acceptable to use a tool for this?
Yes, as long as the substance is yours. The LinkedIn Recommendation Generator arranges what you tell it, and the specifics you supply are what make the recommendation honest.
How long should a recommendation be?
Two short paragraphs is the norm. Long recommendations get skimmed, and the memorable ones are usually those that name one concrete thing the person did and then stop.
What if I did not work closely with them?
Say so in the draft. A short, honest recommendation from a limited perspective is more useful to the reader than a long one that implies knowledge you do not have.
Can I use it to request a recommendation?
Yes. Set Message Goal to Connect and describe what you would like mentioned. Giving someone three specifics makes it far more likely they will actually write it.
A recommendation costs you ten minutes and stays on someone's profile for years, which is an unusually good return on a small favour. Note the three things you remember, let the LinkedIn Recommendation Generator shape them, and send it before the request goes stale.
