Get Your Hireability Score™ And See How Recruiters Read Your LinkedIn Profile In Six Seconds
Then get the exact fixes for your headline, your About, your experience and your proof, in order, so recruiters see your real level and reach out about roles you want
"I made the recommended changes to LinkedIn on Friday. I have received 2-3 reach outs from Recruiters each day for roles I am truly interested in!"

The Six-Second Read
Here's What A Recruiter Sees In The First Six Seconds
Your photo. Your headline. The top of your About.
That is what a recruiter reads before they decide what you are.
I know, because I did it for 16 years. As an Amazon recruiter, 99% of the resumes I reviewed never got an offer. Most were qualified.
Those people never found out what I saw.
Your Hireability Score™ shows you what a recruiter sees. Then it tells you what to fix first.
Your Hireability Gap™ Audit
A bespoke written audit of your LinkedIn profile, which is your digital resume. Scored out of 100. Reviewed by a real recruiter. Delivered as a PDF in 5 to 7 business days.
$47
Future price: $197
My guarantee: Read your audit. If it does not show you at least one thing about how recruiters see you that you did not already know, email us and you get your $47 back.
The Real Opportunity
Some People Get Found Without Applying
You have seen it happen.
A recruiter messages them about a role. They never applied.
They are not better than you. Recruiters can see them.
That is the whole difference. Not talent. Not effort. What shows at the top of the profile.
Qualified ≠ Chosen.
You can be exceptionally qualified and still look like the wrong candidate in six seconds.
Your value is real. Can they see it?
Why Nothing You Tried Has Worked
It Has A Name: The Hireability Gap™
The Hireability Gap™ is what happens when the value you built at the bottom is not visible at the top.
Recruiters are not studying your potential. They are reading your signals.
Every usual fix works on the wrong part.
Apply to more jobs.
Nobody has ever fixed a job search problem by "applying to 5 more jobs today."
It makes it worse. Every extra application is a low-value signal. The rejections stack up in the hiring system, where the next recruiter sees them.
Rewrite the resume.
The recruiter decided before they got that far.
The resume was never the problem. Perception is.
Use the templates. Stuff in the keywords.
The usual advice hands you bad templates. It tells you to stuff keywords and rewrite your resume.
It never tells you what recruiters are actually looking for.
I know where that advice comes from.
In the Great Recession, I was a laid-off recruiter. I was so bad at job searching that the unemployment office made me come in for training.
I was taught how to find a job by someone who had never hired a single person.
A lot of the advice you've been given comes from the same place.
"You don't have a resume problem. You have a Hireability Gap™."
How It Works
Your Hireability Score™
Your audit scores your LinkedIn profile out of 100.
It is not a quiz. It is not a template. A real recruiter reads your real profile.
Most audits check over 110 signals, across four pillars:
Packaging. The first look: your photo, banner, headline, About and Featured.
Positioning. Your experience, skills and certifications.
Proof. Your recommendations.
Presence. Your content, activity and network.
Each pillar answers a question a recruiter asks in those first seconds:
- Can I tell what you do?
- Do you match the opportunity?
- Where is the proof?
- Have you solved this before?
These four things are what separate most candidates. 99% of the people who applied for my roles never got a job offer. This is why.
They are also what the people who did get offers brought to the table. Those people were sought after. I call them the Candidate of Choice.
A real recruiter reviews every audit before it goes out. Then I personally review your findings before your audit is delivered.
What Buyers Said
It Ran As A Beta First. Here's What Happened Next.
Peter bought the audit in the beta. Then he posted about it on LinkedIn:
"It helped me understand how I was presenting myself to potential employers, where my messaging was working, and where it wasn't quite telling the story I intended."
Peter
"The depth of feedback is already among the most meaningful that I've received."
Sami
"The Theory of Hireability™ completely changed my perspective."
Ed
(Theory of Hireability™, trademark pending)
"I signed up for exactly this feedback." "The way the feedback is broken down by pillar is helpful."
Philip
Three more beta buyers wrote to me after making the changes:
"accepted an offer yesterday from the airport! ... I know even the initial changes I made to my LinkedIn & my updated resume further strengthened my visibility"
A beta buyer
"got 6 messages from recruiters last week" ... "after implementing changes"
A beta buyer
"I already am being sought out by more experienced recruiters."
A beta buyer
Beyond the audit, my clients have shared 277 success stories, with more every week. Some are big, like a job offer. A lot are small wins.

Who Reads Your Profile
Why I Built This
I'm an ex Amazon recruiter.
Amazon is the second largest employer on earth, with one of the highest hiring bars there is.
I hired at the corporate office in Seattle. I was a sourcing recruiter, recruiting across the entire globe.
After that class in the Great Recession, I sent one email that changed everything. One relationship. Three offers. A 25% raise in a dead market.
You get jobs through relationships, not applications. At Amazon I understood why. I watched how the best hires actually happen, thousands and thousands of times, from the inside.
In 2017 I walked away from Amazon to build this. I spent nine years building my method before I named it the Theory of Hireability™ (trademark pending).
I built it for smart professionals who gave everything to a company and got discarded anyway.
I'm a recruiter by trade and a humanist by condition.

This Is For You If
- You have 20 to 30 years in, often at director level.
- You have been searching for months, or even years.
- You have already rewritten your resume, bought other programs and followed generic advice. Nothing moved.
- Your experience doesn't read right on paper. It's too technical, or your titles don't show the level you worked at.
- You want a fresh, objective read on how recruiters actually see you.
It's Not For You If
- You want someone to write your resume for you.
- You want a promise of a job. Nobody honest can give you that.
Thirty Days From Now, One Of Two Things Will Be True
You will still be sending applications into silence. Guessing at keywords. Wondering if it's you.
Or you will know exactly how a recruiter reads your profile. You will know what to fix first. And you will have started.
I can't promise what happens next. Results vary.
But you will stop guessing.
Questions
Is a real person behind this?
Yes. A real recruiter reviews every audit before it goes out. Then I personally review your findings. I have spent hundreds of hours personally reviewing these audits. You can read 277 client stories at reviews.lindsaymustain.com.
Is this about my resume?
No. It's an audit of your LinkedIn profile, which is your digital resume. It evaluates your skills and signals the way a recruiter reads them. It is not a rewrite.
How long does it take?
Your audit arrives as a PDF in 5 to 7 business days. It often comes faster. The Hireability Score Maximizer is yours the moment you buy.
What do I need to send?
Your LinkedIn profile link. After you buy, sign in at audit.hireabilitygap.com with the email you paid with.
Is there a call or a video?
No. It's a written report, made for your profile. You can read it as often as you like.
My work is technical, and my titles don't show my level. Will it still help?
Many people I audit say the same thing. Their experience doesn't read right on paper. Your audit shows how a recruiter categorizes you right now, and what is buried.
Does the score measure my worth?
No. It evaluates visible professional signals. Your value is not the problem. The gap is what the market can see.
Do you promise a job?
No. I can't promise a job, interviews, pay or recruiter messages. I can show you what a recruiter sees, and what to fix first.
What if I learn nothing new?
Read your audit. If it does not show you at least one thing about how recruiters see you that you did not already know, email us and you get your $47 back.
