How to find Caregivers with Boolean search strings
When recruiting Caregivers, expand your search of profiles and resumes by using Boolean search on Google. Modify our search strings examples to build your own commands around the skills and experience you’re looking for.
Recruiting Caregivers with Boolean strings
Build search according to your needs:
- -job -jobs -sample -examples, to avoid irrelevant results.
- intitle: or inurl: operator, to include the word “resume” or “CV” in the page title or page url respectively.
- (caregiver OR “home health aide”), to cover variations of similar job titles.
Here’s an example of a generic search string that you can further modify to find resumes:
(intitle:resume OR intitle:cv) caregiver -job -jobs -sample -examples
With this search string, the words “resume” or “CV” have to appear in the page title. And, excluding more terms will reduce false positives.
Searching for Caregiver profiles
Sourcing caregivers is easier if you search for profiles on social media. To do this, run Boolean strings on Google. Use the site: operator and terms found exclusively on member profiles. For example:
- site:meetup.com caregiver “member since”
- site:quora.com caregiver inurl:profile
Add more criteria to 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.
