So I'll just assume that you, like many of the best recruiters, DO take Google+ seriously, and I'll jump right to the string: Many people scoff at Google+, but every week it seems I see a new post explaining why we can't ignore it. Site: "San Francisco" ("3.50 followers" | "10.500 starred") (jquery | hadoop) For example, whittle your results down further by including a pipe ( | ) after the 50 followers and adding a range for favorites. This string will give you a jumping off point, but there's a great deal more customization to be had. Site: "location" ("3.50 followers")(jquery | hadoop) As a result, it's better to narrow down the field by looking for active users with a given amount of followers, or specifically within the repositories or activity tab. X-Raying Github is a bit trickier, as typically users aren't listing their titles or positions anywhere on the site. Here, entering the asterisk along with the location allows you to search areas included in the San Francisco Bay Area, even if "San Francisco Bay Area" doesn't appear exactly in someone's profile. I'm sure as you browse LinkedIn, you'll notice others, so plug those into your search string and see what you get.Īsterisk: The asterisk character effectively works as a variable in Boolean search. A couple examples of these are "People you know", "People Also Viewed", and "Latest Activity". LinkedIn Specific Variables: It's important to note that LinkedIn's pages have many different modules and areas they list profiles based on different criteria. Site: “engineer” java hadoop “people you know” “location * San Francisco Bay Area”
Site: URL "position" skills "linkedin specific modules" "location * City" Here's a sample search search terms replaced by the the specific search criteria represented in that area of the string you'll past into Google: If you're not familiar with Boolean search, an X-ray search string could be overwhelming. Here, I'll break down what goes in to a proper X-Ray search, and how you can bend the knowledge of Google to your will.įirst, let's talk about structure. A far more comprehensive and specific way to scour for talent is to build boolean strings and use them to X-Ray sites, meaning, search every page Google has scraped from any site you choose, based on filters like location, title, skills, and more. But if you're relying only on these site's native search boxes, you're missing out on top candidates.
