Search strings

[Pika Sinha]

Need your assistance please...with search strings for corporate Intelligence, asset tracing & coprporate investigation. Exp min 5yrs in the relevant domain. Location being London. Thanks for the help !

Was looking into this. My approach, generally speaking, is to generate a list of related terms/concepts common to the target, and from that generate a list of target titles/companies to help narrow it down a bit as well.

When I'm not familiar with the subject matter (so often the case!), this involves a fair bit of research and time before I'm able to start turning out good non-obvious (ie: other than the 'low hanging fruit') results from a search. A major downside to this approach is that it's slow.

I was looking for tools that might assist in more rapidly generated related terms, and once I got through a few pages of Google results for programming (web content managment stuff), I saw a result for a LifeHacker article that referenced Onelook (http://www.onelook.com/reverse-dictionary.shtml).

Less useful on multi-word concept search terms, unfortunately, but I may not be using it right.

Seems like mostly you're looking at financial analysts, accountants, auditors, legal folks, though. Forensic accounting specialists, perhaps? Not familiar with UK terminology for this type of profession (barely knowledgeable of US lingo in this case).

I'm not exactly a search string construction expert, and of course you'd probably need a variety of them anyway, but once you've got keywords down it's not so hard.

Dave, thank you very much for the response. Would like to mention that I am looking for corporate intelligence people in the UK and unfortunately they are only handful available. I have been trying all sort of strings but haven't been so lucky.

Thanks again for your time.

Pika,

 

Please use this string on Google engine...

 

(UK | "United Kingdom" | London | England) ("asset tracing"| "corporate investigator" | "corporate investigation" | "corporate intelligence") (intitle:resume | inurl:resume | intitle:cv | inurl:cv | intitle:Curriculum vitae | inurl:Curriculum vitae) -job -jobs -apply -submit -sample

 

Do let me know your feedback...

Hello Paul, really happy with the results. I have been able to source few good profiles.

Thanks for your time and help.

Regards...Pika.

Paul, do we also have even more accurate search strings for this? I can see that I am getting profiles but not a perfect fit. I wanted a hardcore corporate investigation profile (having the key words as already mentioned).

Could you guide me further on this if possible? Also, do you have a linkedin profile, I would be glad to add you to my network.

Truly appreciate your assistance and time. Thank you !

Best Regards,
Pika Sinha

Dear Pika,

Due to bit tight schedules not able to give you much time don't mind & sorry about that..please use the below mentioned string on Google Engine for Linkedin profiles from UK only. Hope this will meet your req. And other thing I could generate more accurate strings on this reg. but the result could be very narrow. So, the string I gave thats broader so that can cover the max result.

 

site:uk.linkedin.com ("asset tracing"| "corporate investigator" | "corporate investigation" | "corporate intelligence") (inurl:pub | inurl:in) -dir

 

And you are always welcome for any assistance & also can hook me in your network..

 

Regards

Paul

Dear Paul !

Truly appreciate the time that you spared.

I am delighted with your help. Further to this would like to actually understand the concept/logic of making search strings. I am not very skilled in this domain and would like to upgrade my skills.

I had also made an attempt to search you on Linkedin but couldn't really figure out. Would be glad if you could add me in your profile. You can search me as "PIKA SINHA, Global resourcing professional."

Thanks you very much for your great assistance. I am happy to be connected to you.

Best Regards,
Pika Sinha
