How to find App Developers with Boolean search strings
Use Boolean logic on Google to find resumes and profiles of App Developers. Our search strings examples provide a basis to build your own Boolean search commands. Modify them to recruit developers who can build intuitive and functional applications.
Generic search string to find App Developers
Build Boolean search string for app developers according to your needs:
- -job -jobs -sample -examples, to avoid irrelevant results
- (intitle:resume OR intitle:cv), to discover candidates’ online resumes or CVs
- (“app developer” OR “application developer”), to cover variations of the same job title
Here’s an example of a generic search string that you can further modify to find resumes:
(intitle:resume OR intitle:cv) (“app developer” OR “application developer”) -job -jobs -sample -examples
When running this command on Google, you’ll get results that include the words “resume” or “CV” in the page title. Excluding more terms reduces false positives.
Searching for App Developer profiles
Search for developers on specific sites, like Github and Stack Overflow, through Google by including the site: operator and terms found exclusively on member profiles. For example:
- site:github.com “app developer” “joined on”
- site:stackoverflow.com/users/ “badges” “app developer”
Add more criteria in your Boolean strings for app developers to find profiles that better match your requirements.
When sourcing EU candidates, please refer to guidance on using social media for recruiting and collecting candidate information as per the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR.
