3. A great recom is nothing if it’s not read until the end. So start your LinkedIn Recom with a good hook. Write about the amazing qualities the person you’re recom. Be specific about what makes that person unique. But don’t just write 'the best designer' or 'Most Reliable Officer' on every recom you make. Your recom show on your profile page too. So it won’t be authentic if those phrases appear on multiple entries.
4. Good news is there are lots of synonyms for the superlatives above, and there’s more than one way to describe a person’s qualities and capabilities. You may have a look on the one enumerated below:

5. Remember, LinkedIn Recoms aren’t limited to boss employee relationships. LinkedIn also allows you to write one for your teammate, a manager in another department, and someone you've mentored ir someone with whom you have worked. So, it’s essential to provide context to prevent others from getting confused, or guessing what your professional relationship is with the recipient. Context also explains what makes you a credible source of the recommendation. It’s also crucial for LinkedIn users to know if you’ve only worked with the person once or twice, so they’ll know your experience with that person’s work ethic and performance isn’t as in-depth as someone who spent years working with them.
Write About the Person’s Impact on You or Your Org

6. This is where you can add details to explain your claims in the first sentence (hook). You can also use this to describe what the recipient did that was different from your previous boss or other co-workers. For service providers, write about what makes them better than other companies or professionals you’ve worked with previously.
Personal Insight

7. A LinkedIn recommendation wouldn’t be entirely authentic and personalized if you don’t mention what the recipient is like as a person. Write a short sentence to describe how the recipient made you feel while working together or certain aspects of their personality that you’ve observed.
End on a Powerful Statement

8. A LinkedIn recommendation is mainly used to help the recipient get a job or client for his or her business. With a strong call to action, you help the recipient get more clients or job offers, while helping LinkedIn users decide if the recipient is worth hiring.

9. You’ve worked with the recipient of the LinkedIn recommendation, and if you’ve known each other for a while, you know their personality as well. So, don’t write a generic recommendation that reads as if it were written by a stranger.

11. If you don’t have anything nice to write, keep it to yourself. LinkedIn’s recommendation feature isn’t an avenue for people to share their negative reviews. There are other platforms where you can do.
