How to find Business Analysts with Boolean search strings
When hiring business analysts, use Boolean search logic in Google to find resumes and profiles. Our search strings examples provide a basis to build your own search commands. Modify them to recruit Business Analysts who will analyze your processes and systems and recommend solutions to business problems.
Building search strings to find Business Analysts
Create a generic search string around terms like:
- -job -jobs -sample -examples, to avoid irrelevant results
- (business analyst OR BA), to cover variations of the same job title
- (intitle:resume OR intitle:cv), to discover candidates’ online resumes or CVs
Here’s an example of a generic search string to find resumes:
(intitle:resume OR intitle:cv) (business analyst OR BA) -job -jobs -sample -examples -templates
With this search string, the words “resume” or “CV” have to appear in the page title. Adding variations of job titles to the Boolean search string for business analysts will provide more relevant results. And, excluding irrelevant terms reduces false positives.
Searching for profiles of Business Analysts
Search for profiles on specific sites through Google by including the site: operator and terms found exclusively on member profiles. For example:
- site:quora.com “business analyst” “credentials & highlights”
- site:meetup.com “business analyst” “member since”
Add more criteria in your search to find profiles that better match your requirements.
