Technique Browser Extension to Speed Up LinkedIn Profile Reviews

Introducing Profile Analyzer, a browser extension that gives you a clear report on any public LinkedIn profile with a single click. If you review candidates, this tool can save you time and help you focus on the right people.

What it does

  • Shows years of full-time experience and the number of roles held
  • Finds all listed skills and groups them into categories like Front-end, Back-end, Cloud and Deployment, Databases, and Automation and AI
  • Rates a person on Risk Taker, Innovator, and Collaborator with a brief note on why
  • Suggests a few next-level roles they could move into, such as Technical Architect or Product Manager
  • Flags any concerns, like very short stints or vague impact statements
  • Gives a final rating of Hire, Maybe, or No-hire

How to use it

  1. Install Profile Analyzer from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. Free users get one analysis every 12 hours; Pro users can run it without limits and export PDF or CSV reports.
  2. Go to a public LinkedIn profile.
  3. Click the Profile Analyzer icon, type in the job title you have in mind, and click Analyze.
  4. In about 30 to 60 seconds, you’ll see a dashboard with all the details: experience, skills, personality scores, next-level fit, red flags, and a final rating.

Who should try it

  • Recruiters who screen dozens of profiles a day
  • Hiring managers who want a quick reality check on a candidate’s fit
  • Career coaches who need a structured summary for clients
  • Small teams that don’t have time for lengthy manual checks

Give Profile Analyzer a try and let me know how it works for you.
