A Boolean search combines keywords with operators like AND, OR, and NOT to narrow or broaden a search. Recruiters use Boolean on LinkedIn, Google X-Ray, job boards, and GitHub to find candidates with specific skills, titles, and locations.
Paste the Boolean string into the LinkedIn keyword search box. Use quotes for multi-word terms, AND to require, OR to allow alternatives, NOT to exclude, and parentheses to group logic.
Google X-Ray uses Google's site: operator to search a specific domain. site:linkedin.com/in "product manager" "Sydney" returns LinkedIn profiles matching those terms, including ones LinkedIn would gate behind Recruiter.
