Questions recruiters ask
A Boolean search combines titles, skills and exclusions with operators such as AND, OR and NOT. Recruiters use it to find more relevant profiles across LinkedIn, Google and CV databases.
You can paste a complete job description or a short search brief. The best inputs include the role title, alternative titles, must-have skills, seniority, location and any terms that should be excluded.
Balanced is the best starting point for most roles. Use Broad when the talent pool is small or titles vary widely. Use Precise when your database is large and the requirements are genuinely essential.
Yes, but search syntax and controls vary by platform. LinkedIn, Naukri Resdex, Google X-Ray and individual CV databases may handle operators, mandatory terms and exclusions differently, so adapt and test the generated string before saving it.
