Still New to Google XRay Searching

[Alison Keen]

Hi All,

I'm still learning the ropes to Google XRay searching.  I primarily try to find candidates with clearances - at least a TS/SCI level and above.  I've seen plenty of recommendations (like the one below) but since there are so many variations of how candidates can list the clearance in their resume, what's the best way to include them in a search string?  More specifically, I'm looking for candidates with a fullscope/lifestyle polygraph.  I would appreciate any suggestions!

 

site:www.linkedin.com clearance ("top secret" | ts | "ts/sci") (sci | compartmented) (inurl:pub | inurl:in) -intitle:directory

If you insert the 'just' the words clearance poly in the string - you will get fullscope polygraph results:

site:www.linkedin.com clearance poly (inurl:pub | inurl:in) -intitle:directory

Or you could insert all the possible combinations as you've done just add poly to it!

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it! If I wanted to insert a skill set in addition to the poly, would I just add another set of ( ) with the word variations inside?

Yes - but you need to put phrases or more then one word in quotes. However, you don't need the ()- Google doesn't recognize special characters - I just use it to make it easier to read when using OR statements-
