You can use the â€œANDâ€ operator to perform different searches. This operator helps broaden a search by adding multiple keywords in the search bar. There are a few Boolean search operators and modifiers one needs to understand to use them properly and obtain relevant search results. Mastering Boolean search takes some time and practice, but once a Recruiter gets it right, it enables them to encounter a whole new talent pool. Recruiters discover hidden talent and reach out to candidates who arenâ€™t easily accessible when using standard search methods. Conducting more specific Boolean searches is an effective alternative that helps Recruitment Specialists continually search for suitable candidates by going through all the CVs theyâ€™ve received and by checking candidatesâ€™ profiles. Recruiters can search through their companyâ€™s or clientâ€™s CRM, LinkedIn, or even Google. In part 25 we will see searches for security company/general people.Boolean search represents a structured search that enables Recruiters to use words or phrases like AND, OR, NOT to broaden, limit, or refine the search results.īoolean search in recruitment means leveraging large databases to find relevant candidates quickly. (c++ OR C#) AND win32 AND (designed OR architected OR 'product development' OR shipped OR 'shrink wrapped' OR 'commercial software' OR 'commercial product') AND ('software development engineer' OR 'software architect' OR 'software engineer' OR 'software design*' OR 'software development lead' OR 'development manager' OR 'development lead' OR 'software design engineer' OR 'software team lead' OR 'development team lead') AND security AND (DRM OR 'digital rights*' OR 'rights management' biometrics OR cryptography OR smartcard) (c++ OR C#) AND win32 AND (designed OR architected OR 'product development' OR shipped OR 'shrink wrapped' OR 'commercial software' OR 'commercial product') AND ('software development engineer' OR 'software architect' OR 'software engineer' OR 'software design*' OR 'software development lead' OR 'development manager' OR 'development lead' OR 'software design engineer' OR 'software team lead' OR 'development team lead') AND security AND ('anti-virus' OR SPAM OR firewall OR Malware) (c++ OR C#) AND win32 AND (designed OR architected OR 'product development' OR shipped OR 'shrink wrapped' OR 'commercial software' OR 'commercial product') AND ('software development engineer' OR 'software architect' OR 'software engineer' OR 'software design*' OR 'software development lead' OR 'development manager' OR 'development lead' OR 'software design engineer' OR 'software team lead' OR 'development team lead') AND security AND ('penetration testing' OR 'ethical hacking' OR 'reverse engineer*' OR hacking OR penetration OR vulnerability) Note there are no short strings, to create a short string simply only use part of the bigger string and do multiple searches to cover the same areas.Īlso do not be afraid to put all deliminators in parenthesis or quotations, as it will make an even more precise string( example title:'resume' ). Also I am using Microsoft(MS) technologies, you can easily substitute the MS technologies for Novell, Unix, etc. Keep in mind that in the first string I use several titles, you can add, delete, substitute any and all titles with these strings. In some cases I will be providing 2 different search strings, 1 will be for most search engines, meta search engines, and ATS or HRIS systems, the other will be for those search engines, meta search engines, and ATS or HRIS systems that are limited in how many words can be used. Also keep in mind there are several ways to construct a search string, I am only using one way, there are others. Keep in mind these strings can be combined with others to form larger more specific search strings. Today search strings are designed to find candidates in the Security space, specifically SDE. So this post continues are multi part posting on different pre constructed boolean search strings. Pre Constructed Boolean Search Strings Part 24!!!
