Why I Built LinqOptima

You've sent out 30, 50, maybe 100 applications. You've heard back from a handful. Most just... silence.

It's not you. It's that nobody taught you how this actually works.

"Restructuring." That's what they called it when they let me go. A corporate word that means "you're gone, and it's not personal." Except it is personal when it's your income, your routine, your sense of purpose.

When I had to find a new job, I spent hours researching how to write a proper CV. I went through many versions — grammar checking, spell checking, tweaking the layout and formatting — and it still wasn't great.

Then I tried to update my LinkedIn profile. More hours disappeared. What keywords do recruiters search for? How do I write a headline that gets noticed? What makes the algorithm show my profile instead of burying it?

And cover letters? I tried writing dedicated ones for each application, but they never really became customized to each job. It took forever and the results were mediocre at best.

So I did what any engineer would do: I studied the system.

I learned what recruiters actually look at. What makes LinkedIn's algorithm surface your profile. What gets a CV past the automated screening systems. What makes a cover letter stand out instead of sounding like everyone else's.

Then I built a tool to do it all automatically.

Who Built This

Built by Someone Who's Been There

I'm a developer who got "restructured" out of a job I thought was secure.

The job search that followed taught me something frustrating: the system isn't built for good people. It's built for people who know how to game it.

So I built LinqOptima — the tool I wish existed when I was spending hours on CVs, LinkedIn profiles, and cover letters that went nowhere.

You deserve to be seen. Let's make it happen.
