16 Using Boolean Logic Search Strings With over 15 billion web pages and over 40,000 job boards and resume databases, how does a recruiter sift through the data to discover the candidates who truly shine? The answer lies in effective search methods. One of the most popular methods is the use of Boolean logic in the search criteria.

17 Boolean Logic AND The use of AND allows the searcher to find documents containing all of the specified words or phrases. For example, entering Tax AND Finance finds documents containing both words.

18 Boolean Logic OR Using OR will generate documents containing at least one of the specified words or phrases. For example, entering Biology OR Chemistry finds documents containing either word, but not necessarily both words.

19 Boolean Logic ( ) Use parentheses to group Boolean phrases. For example, (Tax AND Specialist) AND (finance OR accounting) Combine multiple words into one. For example HR Manager Must use note pad version of quotes

41 LinkedIn - How Recruiters Find You

42 New Search Algorithm LinkedIn Changed Search Results Search is based on two parameters Relevance 100% complete profile

43 Top Three Search Results 1. 1st degree contacts that are 100% complete or nearest to it, have the most in-common connections and shared groups, and ranked in descending order 2. 1st degree contacts, that are 100% complete or nearest to it, and ranked in descending order 3. 2nd degree contacts, that are 100% complete or nearest to it, and ranked in descending order

44 All the Rest 4. 3rd degree contacts, that are 100% complete or nearest to it, and ranked in descending order 5. Shared group contacts that are otherwise unconnected to you, from 100% complete or nearest to it, and ranked in descending order 6. Everyone else with high profile completeness 7. Everyone else who have low profile completeness.

45 Notice? The term 100% complete profile So is your profile complete? According to LinkedIn only 50.5% of users have a 100% complete profile.

46 Complete Profile According to LinkedIn the following items are required by LinkedIn to give you a complete profile. Photo Headline (First searchable item) Complete information on the last two jobs Summary (must have good keyword content) Specialties (NR but good to have)

47 More Requirements Skills (up to 50) Schools/College Information Connections (minimum of 100) (LinkedIn says you should have a minimum of 50) Recommendations (NR but nice to have) Active (post or add comments or like posts)

48 Keywords in Certain Fields Rank Higher Keywords in your Name, Headline, Company Name, Job Title and Skills rank higher in the search results. If these key fields are blank or filled with generic terms, the lower you will show up in the search rankings If you don t show up on the first page of results, update these key sections (Headline, Job Title, Skills) and try again

49 Use a Variety of Keywords Using a variety of keywords that mean the same thing increase your results If you re not using a variety of terms and keywords, then you may not show up in search results. Use them in the correct context so they make sense to the reader LinkedIn uses a contextual search algorithm i.e. Java or web page development using Java
