Hello fellow members,

With over 2,500 "Boolean Strings" members on both LI + RBC groups (and some recent technical difficulties on LinkedIn), it is time for us to start using our own ning network. Please join here:

http://booleanstrings.ning.com [Place for Sourcers, Recruiters, Sales & other professionals. Share Boolean search strings, web sourcing tricks, and software tools.]

See you there!

(The groups on LI and on RBC will be kept open for a while. )

John (Sadler),

Thanks for your comment. We all know some sides of recruiting business and need to learn more on other sides. I'd say it's great to know what you know and what you do not know.

To learn about the operators I suggest going to the advanced search on Google; explore the search dialog, put in your request and press enter. You will see how Google contracts the search using operators. You can keep modifying your request and looking at the advanced syntax Google produces.
Also, Google help has a lot of good information.

Many thanks Ken. The Google Guide Teens page gives me a really good start in understanding the remarkable power available to us.

Joseph,
No apologies necessary. We've all been there. I've been in the business over 25 years and just discovered Google Hacks a couple of years ago.
Recommendation: Check out Google Hacks (I think there's a version 3 now) and see what you think. It has a lot of good information, though at times it's more technical than many of us can benefit from.

Another good source is Shally Steckerl's website www.jobmachine.net. He has a number of cheat sheets that are helpful. Most used to be free, but I've noticed that he's selling many now (not terribly expensive, on the order of $10 or so) and there may still be some free ones around.

Another great source is the Google Guide by Nancy Blachman http://www.googleguide.com/

Finally, for a little self promotion, go to www.itjob4u.com/erbauer and try out the Search Tools there.

Good luck and happy "netcasting".

Sorry to ask such a damn fool newbie question, but where can I learn about the operators you use in these searches?

Google Hacks--101--For Dummies

I know it may seem odd that someone with over 9 years of recruiting experience is just learning about "Google Hacks," but I humbly admit this is the case with me.

First I need to know, "how" can this benefit me finding candidates for my clients, ans secondly, can someone direct me to a thread that can get me started?? Baby steps please....and thank you to any and all that can help!
