Search brief
Fill the form or try the sample to generate recruiter-ready Boolean strings.
Search tuning tips
- Start with 2-4 title variants and 2-4 must-have skills.
- Keep must-haves strict; put preference signals in nice-to-haves.
- Add exclusions only after you see noisy results.
How to use the generated strings
Start broad, inspect the first page of results, then tighten. If the search is too noisy, add exclusions like agency, recruiter, jobs, or intern. If it is too narrow, move a must-have skill into the nice-to-have field so it becomes an OR group instead of another mandatory AND condition.
Frequently asked questions
Is this Boolean search generator free?
Yes — completely free, no signup, and no limits. It runs entirely in your browser, so there's nothing to pay for and nothing to upload.
Does it work with LinkedIn Recruiter?
Yes. The LinkedIn string works in standard LinkedIn search, LinkedIn Recruiter, and Sales Navigator. The tool also generates Google X-ray, GitHub, and generic Boolean strings for resume databases and job boards.
What is a Google X-ray search?
An X-ray search uses Google to look inside a single site — here, site:linkedin.com/in/ — to surface public profiles that LinkedIn's own search can bury. It's useful when you've hit LinkedIn's commercial search limits or want a second angle on the same talent pool.
Is my search data sent anywhere?
No. Every string is generated locally in your browser. Nothing you type is transmitted, stored, or logged.
