Tip  Sheet  –  Advanced  Search  Tips

The  right  person  you’re  looking  for  is  already  on  LinkedIn.  The  key  is  in  knowing  how  to  build  an  effective  search  that  will  help  you  find  prospective  candidates  with  the  skills,  experience  and  qualifications  required  to  fill  the  position.  Search  for  what  people  do,  not  just  words  they  say.  

 1.  Review  the  job  description  and  enter  key  words  and  phrases  that  you  would  expect  to  find  in  a  highly  qualified  candidate's  profile  in  the  appropriate  advanced  search  fields  to  build  your  search  string.  Keyword  searches  will  search  all  text  in  the  profile.      Adding  Boolean  modifiers    (AND,  OR,  NOT,  parenthesis  and  quotes)  can  help  pinpoint  candidates  with  the  skills  and  prior  experience  required.        2.  Use  refinement  filters  to  further  refine    your  results  by:    

o Current/past  companies  o Relationship  to  you  o Industry  o Company  Size  o Fortune    o Company  Type  o Location  o Level  of  Seniority    o Years  in  Current  Position    o Years  at  Company    o Years  of  Experience  o All  Groups    o Schools  o Recommendations  o Profile  languages  o Interest  in  opportunities  o When  they  joined  Linkedin    

   The  top  5  for  each  filter  will  show  by  default.  Select  “Show  more…  to  view  the  top  10  and  add  additional  criteria  to  the  input  box  in  the  filter.  For  example,  in  this  picture,  you  could  choose  Greater  New  York  and  enter  London  into  the  input  box  to  look  for  profiles  in  those  two  locations.        3.  Review  and  add  profiles  to  the  clipboard  or  save  them  to  a  Project  for  save  keeping.    4.  Finally,  save  your  search  and  turn  on  the  alert!      Then  you  can  run  the  search  again  in  the  future  and  Recruiter  will  run  the  search  automatically  each  night  looking  for  new  members  or  profiles  that  match.
