How to find Mobile Developers with Boolean search strings

Generic search string to find Mobile Developers

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

(intitle:resume OR inurl:resume) “mobile developer” -job -jobs -sample -examples

The intitle: and inurl: operators generate results that contain the words “resume” in the page title or page url respectively. Exclude terms that produce false positives (e.g. resume samples) with the NOT (-) operator.

Searching for “Mobile Developers” may yield results, but it might exclude mobile developers who identify themselves using the platform they primarily code for, e.g. “Android Developer” or “iOS Developer.” To expand your search, create strings looking for these Developers too. Here’s an example string that can help you find iOS Developers:

(intitle:resume OR inurl:resume) “ios developer” -job -jobs -sample -examples

Searching for Mobile Developer profiles

Search for Mobile Developers on programming-oriented sites like GitHub and Stack Overflow, as well as general forum sites like Meetup. Include the site: operator and terms found exclusively on member profiles. For example:

• site:github.com “mobile developer” “joined on”
• site:meetup.com “mobile developer” “member since”
• site:stackoverflow.com/users/ “badges” “mobile developer”

Some Mobile Developers may also have profiles on portfolio sites like Behance:

• site:behance.net “mobile developer” “project views”

Add more criteria in your search to find profiles that better match your requirements.
