Updated Google Resume Search String for LinkedIn

By Anonymous
Source: eGrabber Newsletters

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

Because there isn’t any action involved other than posting jobs and the recruiters wait for things to happen rather than identifying, attracting and hiring top talent. When you post jobs online, you do not have control over candidate qualifications. You post a job ad with a specific qualification and experience but there is no guarantee that only those candidates will respond to your job posting. Anybody (unqualif...
