Get Free LinkedIn Endorsements in 2026 — No Password | SMMSUMO

Skills and endorsements on a profile

The Skills section of a LinkedIn profile lists the skills you have added, and each one shows how many people have endorsed it. You can reorder skills so the most important ones show first, and link a skill to the job or education where you used it. Recruiters searching by skill see endorsements as a quick check on what others vouch for.

Who should endorse which skills

An endorsement means most when it matches what the rest of the profile shows. For the free trial, pick skills you genuinely use in your current work, so the endorsements match what your experience section already says.

Claiming, and paid endorsements

Enter your LinkedIn profile link and an email address, then confirm with the six-digit code we send. We never need your login, and the trial is one claim per account. Paid endorsements cost $40 for 50 worldwide and are added over 8 to 12 days, so they build up naturally.

Skill endorsements on LinkedIn

LinkedIn lets connections endorse the skills listed on your profile, and the endorsement count is shown next to each skill. Recruiters scanning a profile use it as a quick check on which skills others vouch for.

Making the most of your free endorsements

Before claiming, review your Skills section: keep the skills you want to be hired for and move your most important ones to the top. For more, LinkedIn endorsements are added over 8–12 days, and connections grow your network toward 500+.
