Given all that’s transpired in the past 2 years, it should come as no surprise that the most sought-after job title, according to our data, is for Healthcare Assistants. One of the tools in a recruiter’s arsenal that can help in the search for in-demand passive candidates, is the use of Boolean search strings.
A boolean search is essentially a way of narrowing down a search by using symbols to get more exact results you want. If you’re looking to find Healthcare Assistants, using Boolean logic on Google to find CV’s and profiles is another technique a recruiter can use to identify passive candidates. Read on below and use our search strings examples to provide a foundation for you to build your own commands around the skills you want applicants to have.
Build out the search according to your specific requirements:
Here’s an example of a Healthcare Assistant Boolean search string that you can modify to your needs to find CVs:
(intitle:resume OR cv) (“Healthcare Assistant” OR HCA) -job -jobs -sample -examples
Run this string in Google to get results that contain the words “resume” or “CV” in the page title. Adding variations of healthcare titles will provide more relevant results. By excluding additional terms you reduce the number of false positives.
