How to use it

LinkedIn reads AND, OR and NOT (all caps) plus quotes and parentheses. Put title synonyms in one OR group, each must-have skill as its own AND term, nice-to-haves in a second OR group, and exclusions after NOT. LinkedIn Recruiter also lets you put the title in the Title field and keep the string for skills only, which usually returns a cleaner list.

FAQ

Why does my string return zero results? Usually one must-have is too specific or a quote wraps a phrase nobody writes that way. Remove terms one at a time.
