Boolean Search Basics
While Boolean logic remains the same, Boolean search operators vary depending on the platform

Boolean Syntax• AND - must be capitalized. Using the AND operator is optional;
by default, LinkedIn will combine search terms
• OR - must be capitalized
• NOT - must be capitalized
• Quotation Marks
– "" - use the quotation marks to search for phrases
• Parentheses
– () – use the parentheses around parts of complex queries, to specify how to execute a search
24
![Page 25: Take Your Sourcing Skills to the Next Level Skills... · 2019-11-20 · X-Ray LinkedIn for Titles and Companies • For members who have current jobs listed on their profiles, page](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040403/5e85e212e95d6156f754cd5d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Order of Operators
• The order of precedence for these search operators on LinkedIn is as follows:– Quotes [“”]– Parentheses [( )]– NOT– AND– OR
25
![Page 26: Take Your Sourcing Skills to the Next Level Skills... · 2019-11-20 · X-Ray LinkedIn for Titles and Companies • For members who have current jobs listed on their profiles, page](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040403/5e85e212e95d6156f754cd5d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Vary Job Titles in a Faceted Search –LinkedIn.com• Example:("software engineer" OR lead OR developer OR MTS OR "technical staff" OR coder OR programmer) (NOT manager) (NOT QA)
• LinkedIn limits the number of ORs, ANDs, and NOTs you can use –shows no results if we use “too many” – but we have a workaround 😉
• Use the Job Title field, not Keywords 26
![Page 27: Take Your Sourcing Skills to the Next Level Skills... · 2019-11-20 · X-Ray LinkedIn for Titles and Companies • For members who have current jobs listed on their profiles, page](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040403/5e85e212e95d6156f754cd5d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Use the Job Title, Not Keywords Due to the (questionable) semantic search interpretation, Keyword searches may return the wrong results

Vary Job Titles in a Faceted Search –LinkedIn Recruiter
• Current job title = ("software engineer" OR lead OR developer OR MTS OR "technical staff" OR coder OR programmer) (NOT manager) (NOT QA)
• Do NOT use predefined selections in Job Titles28
![Page 29: Take Your Sourcing Skills to the Next Level Skills... · 2019-11-20 · X-Ray LinkedIn for Titles and Companies • For members who have current jobs listed on their profiles, page](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040403/5e85e212e95d6156f754cd5d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
LinkedIn - Search Using Boolean in Job Titles (vs. Selections) in Recruiter• Recruiter interprets
predefined job titles and some results may be “off” (and some – not included)
• Use Boolean (vs. selections), with long OR statements if necessary

Workaround for AND on
LinkedIn• Just don’t use AND explicitly• Java AND spring AND rest AND aws AND nosql
AND "elastic search" AND microservices doesn’t work, but
• Java spring rest aws nosql "elastic search" microservices - does

Workaround for OR on LinkedIn1. Create an OR search string
• Mary OR Louise OR Joanna
2. Wrap all but the first term in ()s• Mary OR(Louise) OR(Joanna)
3. NB: remove the spaces between OR and (• Always Mary OR(Louise)• Never Mary OR (Louise)

OR Workaround• This search Mary OR Emma OR Sophia OR Linda OR Olivia OR Emily OR Victoria OR Lisa OR Isabella doesn’t work, but this does: Mary OR(Emma) OR(Sophia) OR(Linda) OR(Olivia) OR(Emily) OR(Victoria) OR(Lisa) OR(Isabella)
