the alternative to linkedin

linkedin optimises for recruiters and ad targeting. timeline optimises for you. same career information, a presentation that doesn't read like a keyword-matched bullet list.

linkedin flattens everyone into the same shape

a linkedin profile is a template: title, company, dates, buzzwords. it's legible to recruiter search, illegible to anyone who wants to know who you actually are. the 'about' section reads like a cover letter for a job you don't want. timeline gives you the same chronology with room to breathe.

what you get

chronological without being corporate

same sequence as a LinkedIn profile — jobs, projects, milestones — rendered as scrollable moments instead of stacked job boxes.

import your LinkedIn in one upload

export your LinkedIn as a PDF, upload it to timeline. inline links preserved, content structured, done in a minute.

portfolio toggle

flip between chronological timeline (full story) and portfolio (projects-first). LinkedIn gives you one view; timeline gives you both at the same URL.

owned, not platformed

no algorithm deciding who sees your updates. no 'posts' system. no engagement farming. just your URL and your story.

real timelines

common questions

do i have to delete my linkedin?

no. most people keep LinkedIn for recruiter search and link to their timeline from their LinkedIn headline.

is the timeline indexed by recruiters?

public timelines are crawled by Google. recruiter search tools like Seekout and Gem can find you via standard web search, though they still default to LinkedIn.
