LinkedIn's Boolean search is a handy tool that lets you pinpoint specific candidates and tweak your search terms easily without grappling with the platform's interface. A distinct advantage of Boolean search is that LinkedIn interprets these terms as mandatory, not optional. For instance, if you search for an "Occupational Therapist," you'll get exactly that, not a "Physical Therapist." The search feature on LinkedIn doesn't always accurately match similar terms, which can be a limitation.
This functionality can be especially beneficial when looking for candidates in a specialized field. Say you're scouting for individuals with experience in Fintech. A practical approach would be to identify companies active in the Fintech sector, and then search for candidates who have worked at these companies.
