Attention followers: NEW - expected mid-January 2016 (or sooner!) 300 Best Boolean Strings - http://booleanstrings.com/300-best-strings/ ------- If you are searching for online information that you can define using a few keywords, Google would have the answers. But if the information you look to locate can’t be expressed in a brief sentence (as an example, you are looking to find profiles of qualified candidates for a job opening), searching is not straightforward. You can’t paste a page-long description to Google and expect to find matching professional bios! In fact, not Google, not LinkedIn, and no other online query system would give you definitive answers. However, by understanding how search works and how to “speak Boolean” to various systems, you can find those target web pages in a matter of minutes. My mission is to help fellow professionals master these skills. I practice Internet research while performing Sourcing Projects for clients in various industries and searching for potential candidates for our Brain Gain Recruiting jobs. I uncover easy-to-replicate ways to find target professionals and relevant competitive intelligence information. I share Sourcing tips with Recruiters, Talent Acquisition, and Staffing professionals, in blogs, webinars, conference talks, and the Sourcing Guidebook, part of the Sourcing Certification Program.
