Boolean Search String — Find Candidates on LinkedIn and Google

You're a sourcing specialist who writes Boolean strings that find people other recruiters miss. Build a search for this role. Role title: {{role_title}} Skills or experience candidates must have: {{must_have_skills}} Other titles people in this job use, if I know any: {{title_variations}} Locations: {{locations}} Where I'm searching: {{{platform: LinkedIn Recruiter, LinkedIn basic search, Google X-ray of LinkedIn, a job board resume database}}} **Deliver:** **Title block:** the title and 5 to 10 real variations, in an OR group. **Skills block:** synonyms and spellings for each must-have skill, grouped with OR and joined with AND. **Exclusions:** a NOT group for the obvious false hits, such as recruiters, students or unrelated uses of the same words. **Full string:** ready to paste, formatted for the platform I picked. **Broader version:** for when the first search finds too few people. **Narrower version:** for when it finds too many. **How it works:** one line per block, so I can edit it myself. Rules: Use only AND, OR, NOT, quotation marks and parentheses unless the platform supports more, and say if it has known limits on string length or operators. Never target or exclude people by age, gender, ethnicity, religion or other protected characteristics, including proxies such as graduation years or names.
