Boolean Query Builder
Stop guessing your search strings
Generates high-signal Boolean queries for multiple platforms and explains how to tune them so you spend less time filtering noise and more time talking to candidates.
PROMPT
Create a skill called "Boolean Query Builder". Inputs: - Role/title targets - Must-have skills (AND) - Nice-to-have skills (OR) - Exclusions (NOT) - Location/remote constraints Output: - Boolean strings for: 1) LinkedIn Recruiter 2) Google X-Ray (site:linkedin.com/in) 3) GitHub (if relevant) 4) Resume/ATS keyword search (generic) - A tuning guide: - What to remove if too narrow - What to add if too broad - Common false-positive filters Keep queries copy-paste-ready.
How It Works
Tell the skill what you're looking for — titles, skills, exclusions — and
it generates copy-paste-ready Boolean strings for every major platform.
What You Get
- Boolean strings for LinkedIn Recruiter, Google X-Ray, GitHub, and generic ATS search
- A tuning guide: what to remove if too narrow, what to add if too broad
- Common false-positive filters
Setup Steps
- List your target titles and must-have skills
- Add nice-to-have skills and exclusions
- Specify location or remote constraints
- Copy the strings directly into your sourcing tools
Tips
- Start broad, then tighten — it's faster than starting too narrow
- The Google X-Ray strings often surface profiles LinkedIn search misses
- GitHub queries only make sense for technical roles
- Re-generate when you learn new title variations from screening calls
