In the last couple of weeks you might have noticed that a typical LinkedIn X-ray search on Google does not return the usual results.
For example consider the search string example that we published in one of our newsletters earlier:
site:linkedin.com java c++ (programmer OR developer) "greater atlanta" -inurl:directory
When you click on the first search result for the above string, instead of taking you to the person's individual profile, it will take you to a LinkedIn page where results are organized by first or last name.
You can overcome this by including a '-inurl:dir' to the above search string. So the search syntax would now be
site:linkedin.com keyword (title) "state" -inurl:directory -inurl:dir
So if you are looking for java & C++ programmers in greater Atlanta, your search string will be
site:linkedin.com java c++ (programmer OR developer) "greater atlanta" -inurl:directory -inurl:dir
If you want to know more about such search strings, please try our resume sourcing-cum-import tool - ResumeGrabber Suite.
