Hi Irina;
I would give myself the term novice when it comes to using boolean strings on searches. Right now I'm conducting a search for a Managing Director for a Managed Care Corporation. how would I string together words in a boolean string that would attract someone searching for a position such as this. I can use this knowledge on other searches we're conducting also. Thank you so much for creating this network, any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards
Herb

Thanks Martin, totally agree, I've also found it helpful in searches where you're looking for someone who speaks a particular language to look for (Fluent OR native OR speak OR conversational OR Read OR Write).

Kameron - we recently scraped the internet for Dutch nationals and used "fluent near dutch" and/or "nationality near dutch" and/or "passport near dutch/ netherlands/ holland " to good effect as it doesn't just give people living there but also Dutch people working in other countries i.e. contractors who nearly always want to work closer to home.

Edward:

You'll need to 'play' around and add or shift some key words in the following string. It produced a few results you may be able to use:

In GOOGLE, insert exactly:

site:www.linkedin.com packaging process engineer food design (" pennsylvania area" | "greater philadephia area") -intitle:directory -inurl:updates -inurl:jobid -inurl:find -inurl:answers

I am based in Manila with an executive search firm here and we are always trying to find Filipinos abroad who are open to returning here for mid-senior level positions. Tracing Filipinos who have roots here that we know of isn't to difficult (i.e they would have gone to several top universities here & Filipinos tend to be avid social networkers on the net); HOWEVER, I am having a hard time finding Filipinos with few roots here or those who are Fil-ams. The bigest challenge is the fact that most Filipino names tend to be CHINESE or SPANISH in origin & Filipinos tend to be an "invisible minority" and blend in (especially if a parent etc. was not Filipino). Hence, unless they went to school here or something else about the info I find says FILIPINO about them, I am probably missing ALOT of names.

Does anyone else have a similar problem (i.e. they deal with a specific ethnic group/country) and any suggestions on how to overcome this via Boolean?

Insert the exact string into GOOGLE for LinkedIN profiles:

Please 'play' around with the key words to generate add'l results-
