Boolean String Basics for Recruiters
Understanding Boolean Strings to Find and Recruit Candidates Online
By: Jonathan Kidder
I wrote this book as a guide for Recruiters and Talent Sourcers to learn more about Boolean strings in regards to finding talent online.
Whether you’ve recently started or have experience in the field, I wanted to create a guide that will walk you through the basics of creating a Boolean search string. Talent Sourcing comes down to finding talent and in order to do that it first starts with creating a search. Search engines use Boolean logic to make this happen. This book will help you find candidate resumes, profiles, directory lists, company intel, and much more online!
Recruiters need to understand the basics of Boolean logic to effectively find resumes, profiles, directories, lists, company intelligence, company org’s and much more online. You will need to be able to peel back search results to find exactly what you are looking for.
Within this book, I will define Boolean, showcase the benefits, give examples on creating searches, and ultimately turn you (the reader) into a more effective “cyber sleuth” Boolean searcher. Talent Sourcing tasks the majority of a recruiter’s day. Understanding Boolean logic and terminology will help advance your knowledge and will benefit you greatly in your recruiting career.
