A Boolean LinkedIn search is a technique used to filter and refine search results on LinkedIn by using specific Boolean operators. These operators allow you to combine keywords and phrases in a way that helps you find highly targeted profiles. It’s a more advanced way to search for people, jobs, or companies by refining the results to match your criteria.

Common Boolean Operators Used on LinkedIn:

OR

  1. Example: “Software Engineer” OR “Web Developer” – This will return profiles that mention either Software Engineer or Web Developer.

AND 

  1. Example: “Marketing” AND “SEO” – This will show results that have both Marketing and SEO in the profile.

NOT

  1. Example: “Marketing” NOT “Sales” – This will find profiles that mention Marketing but exclude any that mention Sales.

Quotation Marks (“”)

  1. Example: “Content Marketing” – This will search for profiles that specifically mention the exact phrase “Content Marketing.”

Parentheses ()

  1. Example: (“Marketing Manager” OR “Product Manager”) AND “SEO” – This will find profiles that contain either Marketing Manager or Product Manager and also mention SEO.

Wildcard (*)

  1. Example: “Develop”* – This will find results containing Develop, Developer, Development, and so on.
