This concept is crucial to this whole approach, especially when using LinkedIn. For instance my above example “Web Developer” (and “New York” just to be safe). It is important to note that the only “operator” needed when using this updated strain of Boolean are quotation marks around the job title if there are multiple words to describe the position. I am no hater when it comes to popular platforms out there that create those long strings for you. I have learned, however, that those synonym-filled strings are unnecessary in the Google bar and that when you try an incredibly long string in, let’s say, the Monster search bar, the strings will confuse some search engines making your computer rumble and make strange noises.

I’ve been a full-cycle, devoted sourcer, recruiter and trainer for the past 13 years. I, too, have aspired to be that Boolean master, a sourcer that knows every “operator” and every workaround to find attendees at a conference for accountants who play badminton.
