Accept or dismiss recommendations

Last updated: 3 days ago

A recommendation is a commendation written by a LinkedIn member to recognize your work. You can request recommendations from your 1st-degree connections you work with or have worked with.


When someone writes you a recommendation, you'll be notified via a message from the sender on LinkedIn. You can accept, dismiss, or ask for a revision of the recommendation.

Note: Recommendations appear in a chronological order and currently can’t be reordered.
Once you've accepted the recommendation, it will appear in the Recommendations section of your profile and an update will go out to your network.
Note: Once you’ve dismissed a recommendation you received, it can't retrieved again. The member who recommended you must delete the recommendation before you can request for a new recommendation.
