A profile basically is a short summary of a person’s resume that highlights their key or dominant skills. (For the record, LinkedIn Recruiter is not a database of resumes.
Each one of these resumes has the word ‘engineer’ somewhere in it. After we have typed ‘engineer’ into the Key Words field and clicked Search, let’s say that we pull up 100 resumes. Let’s make believe that the LinkedIn database only has 1,000 resumes in it. Into this field we are going to just type ‘engineer.’ We have just entered a Boolean ‘string,’ although an extremely simple one consisting of a single word. In this situation, LinkedIn Recruiter can be used very effectively as a resume job board, and as such it has a standard Key Words field much like Monster, Dice, CareerBuilder, etc. It didn’t matter if the engineer was electrical, mechanical, aerospace, etc….just as long as they had a technical background. Suppose a recruiter had a requisition for an entry-level sales position and the hiring manager wanted to hire an engineer to go into sales. Re-thinking Boolean as a ‘Filtering’ Process Instead of a Search Process (HR) AND (“Information Technology”) AND (Director) AND (“New York”) …into the Key Words field of LinkedIn Recruiter, put a few checks in boxes, and it will give you even better results than you got by entering the longer Boolean search string in the Key Words field as shown below:
We can call it a “semi-cure.”Įxample of an easy string that works almost like a longer one - it can be as easy as typing the following one word string: You feel better, but you’ve still got a cold. The prescription is not a complete cure however, but more like symptomatic relief of the common cold. The Rx consists of a way of formulating and writing Boolean strings without realizing you’re doing it.
Boolean in Disguise is a prescription for easing the pain some experience when wrestling with Boolean strings.
