New Internet Recruiter

[Sharon Arcouette]

I am new at internet recruiting, and I am looking for a Boolean String to search for "Mechanical engineers with experience in Boilers and/or coal. Could some one give me some advice to get me started?

Sharon,

You can try the following string inserted into GOOGLE for LinkedIN profiles:

site:linkedin.com "current * mechanical engineer" (boiler | coal) (inurl:pub | inurl:in) -intitle:directory

If you want to add a location you can add it the way it would be specified on the profile for that particular location such as: "charlotte north carolina area" (use quotes)

Thank you so much. I will start experimenting with this. Right now, everything sounds "Greek" to me!

Assuming that you are completely new to booleans, I can suggest these simple search strings that you can use on job boards to get relevant CVs.

("mechanical engineer" OR "mechanical engineering") AND (coal OR coals OR boiler OR boilers)

mechanical AND (engineer OR engineering) AND (coal OR coals OR boiler OR boilers)

** Please ignore if you are already aware of it **

Glen has already mentioned search string to get linkedin public profiles from the internet. Below is the same string with slight addition:
site:linkedin.com ("current * mechanical engineering" | "current * mechanical * engineer" | "current * mechanical engineer") (boiler | coal | boilers | coals) (inurl:pub | inurl:in) -intitle:directory

Thank you so much for your help. I get a little discouraged with this!! Hopefully, with time I will understand this all a little bit better!!

Hey, there is nothing to get discouraged. I was also new to Booleans and internet recruiting. I started from scratch and I am still learning. Learning and executing what you have learned is the mantra. Hope you won't use discouraged word again :).

Dear Sharon,

The strings mentioned by Medhavi thats the stuff for a beginner and you can startup with that in any of the job portal search. Then once you well on portals then you can try some web engine search. And above all you should understand about the each of boolean syntex and the use of that or else it would be difficult to understand the search strings.
