These are additional LinkedIn specific search criteria that can be used in your search query to target specific attributes of potential prospects. Secondly, let’s cover the advanced part of the Boolean search.
These search operators are prioritized in the following order ” “, ( ), NOT, AND, OR. Whereas, if you search for “recruitment manager” that is treated as an exact term and have to appear in the order you have specified.Ĭombined Terms: By containing multiple terms in brackets they can be treated as a separate combined term.įor example, the term: recruitment AND (manager OR director) returns profiles which contain the term recruitment and contains either the term manager or director. Phrases: When including a term with multiple words such as: recruitment manager, this can is enclosed in quotations to be treated as a simple exact search term.įor example, if you searched recruitment manager you would get results for all the people with recruitment in their profile and manager in their profile but not necessarily next to each other or in that order. LinkedIn also assumes if you put two words next to each other that both are required so if you searched: plumber carpenter, this will give the same results. Multiples: By placing AND (in capitals) between two terms means they are both required.įor example: plumber AND carpenter will only display results for those who have both plumber and carpenter in their profile. Below is the list of some LinkedIn Boolean search string examples:Įxclusions: By placing NOT (in capitals) or a minus sign in front of a term excludes that term from the list of results.Īlternatives: By placing OR (in capitals) between two search terms will bring up results for both of these terms in the list of results.įor example: plumber OR carpenter will bring up results for profiles containing either plumber or carpenter. The Boolean search on LinkedIn is a combination of Boolean logic and search operators.
