Reply to a Recruiter Message Generator
A recruiter messaged you on LinkedIn or by email and you want to reply well. This free tool writes a polite, professional response for your situation — interested, not interested, happy but open, or asking for more detail. Wording only; nothing you type is stored.
Example replies
Here's the kind of wording this tool produces. Yours will use the details you enter.
Hi Jess, thanks for reaching out about the Marketing Coordinator role at Acme — it sounds interesting and I'd like to learn more. Could you share a bit about the team and the salary range? Happy to jump on a quick call this week. Thanks, Sam

Frequently asked questions
How do I reply to a recruiter on LinkedIn?
Thank them for reaching out, say clearly whether you're interested, and give a next step — like a time to chat or a question about the role. Keep it short and polite, even if you're saying no.
Should I reply to a recruiter if I am not interested?
It's worth a short, polite reply. It keeps the relationship warm for the future and takes only a moment. The 'Not interested' option does this for you.
What if the recruiter's message is vague?
It's fine to ask for detail before deciding — the role, location or remote setup, and the salary range. Use the 'Message was vague' option.
Does this tool store anything?
No. Your details are only used to build the reply on this page, and nothing is saved.
