Boolean Searches for RecruitersOur Boolean Power Search series has been specifically created to share the best Boolean Searches for Recruiters. For the “Searching in the First Person” search, we are looking for people who have written about themselves in an article, profile page or resume.  Think about your personal bio.  You want to show-off a little and let people know why you are so great.  To do that, people use terms like, “I”, “I’ve”, or “I have” and then use words like worked, work, made, created, etc.

Searching in First Person

For this search, we are using the following Boolean search operators:

  • Parenthetical – To combine terms and modifiers. For example: (“sales manager” | “Business Development”)
  • Quotes- To find the exact phrase. For example: “I have”
  • OR (you can also use | )- To broaden to include one or more terms. For example: (Work | Worked)
