How to find a Business Lawyer with Boolean search strings

Generic search string to find and hire a Business Lawyer

Build searches according to your needs:

• -job -jobs -sample -examples, to avoid irrelevant results
• (intitle:resume OR intitle:CV), to discover candidates’ online resumes

Here’s an example of a generic search string that you can modify to find resumes:

(intitle:resume OR intitle:cv) “business lawyer” -job -jobs -sample -examples

The intitle: operator on Google will generate results that include the words “resume” or “CV” in the page title. Use inurl: to look for those words in the page url. Excluding more terms reduces false positives.

Searching for profiles of Business Lawyers

Use Boolean search on Google to find social profiles of Business Lawyers. Include the site: operator and terms found exclusively on member profiles. For example:

• site:quora.com “business lawyer” “credentials & highlights”
• site:meetup.com “business lawyer” “member since”

If you get the same type of irrelevant results with each search, use the NOT (“-”) operator to exclude those results. Add more criteria in your search 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.
