See how your profile reads to recruiters’ AI tools.
Recruiters use AI to find people now. AI Discoverability reads your profile the way their tools do, pulls live ads for your target role and checks your words against theirs. A status for each area, the lines to rewrite first, and a clear line between what it checked and what it cannot check from a profile.
Staff Engineer, platform
AI DiscoverabilityYou are a well-evidenced platform engineer, and the thing holding you back is discovery: your headline leads with a stack rather than the words recruiters filter on. Once someone reads you, the evidence is convincing; the risk is that fewer of the right people ever open the page.
Where you stand· 5
We have not searched the web for your name. Graded from your CV, not from your live LinkedIn profile. 2 rows here cannot be judged from a profile alone, and each one tells you what it would need.
Found by recruiters and their AI tools
Your current title, Senior Backend Engineer, is what recruiters search, so that role enters the pool cleanly. The problem is the headline: it opens with the stack (Go, Kubernetes, Postgres) rather than the market’s phrasing for the level you want, and “platform” appears nowhere in the first line. Location and skills are solid, so this is a wording fix, not a scope problem.

Found by AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok
Recruiters and AI sourcing tools do not look for you by name. They search for a role: a title, a location, the skills an ad asks for. Then they read whoever comes back. That is the search this report is built around. Someone typing your name into an assistant is a different question, and the one thing here not checked.
Proving fit
This is your real strength. The experience section binds team size, platform scale and outcomes to specific roles: 16 engineers across two squads, a platform serving 900+ internal users. These are bounded, role-anchored facts, exactly what a sourcing tool needs to rank you above someone who only lists skills.

Inside LinkedIn
This read is from your CV, not your live LinkedIn, so it cannot see whether Open to Work is on, whether you share a resume with recruiters, or when you last updated the profile. Those levers only move things inside LinkedIn Recruiter. Add your LinkedIn export in your profile and the next report reads the real thing.
Say it directly
You state Australian citizen, the one screening fact handled well, since work rights are a common early filter for Sydney roles. Not on the page: notice period, salary expectation, or what is motivating a move. No profile edit surfaces those. Say them to a recruiter or in your outreach.
