Boolean Search

Definition

Boolean search is a way of combining keywords with operators such as AND, OR, and NOT to filter results precisely. Recruiters use it to find candidates on job boards and LinkedIn, and job seekers can use it to find roles more accurately. For example, searching "developer AND Python NOT senior" narrows results to relevant openings. Understanding Boolean logic helps you both find jobs and appear in recruiters' searches.

Usage Example

He used a Boolean search like "marketing AND analytics NOT intern" to filter the job board down to relevant roles.
