In many cases, this is the best option, because it will prioritize results based on the keyword matches from your search. By default, LinkedIn sorts your search results by keyword relevance. You will get back every person who matches the original query, but without people who have LinkedIn on their profile. With the following search:(Java OR J2EE OR JSP) AND (Engineer OR Architect OR Lead) AND NOT LinkedIn It can't be used alone, but in conjunction with other terms it will exclude people from your search who have that term in their profile.So, for example, when I run the search above in my network, a lot of the engineers closest to me who fit that description are actually already at LinkedIn! That's no good for a recruiting search.
The last function in the Boolean search trio is NOT, and it is a tricky but powerful operator. Note the use of parentheses to group the OR terms together, so the AND will apply correctly to any of the words in each group of terms. (Java OR J2EE OR JSP) AND (Engineer OR Architect OR Lead) For example, if I am looking for a good Java engineer, I might split each term into several possible words: This becomes incredibly powerful when you combine it with OR. AND allows you to insist that a person have both terms in their profile.So, if you want someone who has both Java and Engineer in their profile, you would type: If you thought OR was fun, get ready for a real party when you add AND to the mix. This search will return people in your network who have any one of those terms in their profile. So, in our search for a Java engineer, we might do a search for: (Please note, the " OR" has to be in capital letters) LinkedIn search supports the concept of OR, which means that you can have LinkedIn return people who have any one of those terms in their profiles. However, they might also have "J2EE" or "JSP". For example, a Java engineer might have "Java" on their profile. People use different words to describe similar concepts on their profiles. You can also find many of the advanced search tools just by clicking "Refine Search" on any LinkedIn search results page.
You can access advanced search by clicking the link next to the search bar on the header of the LinkedIn website.
That will give you a tight search that only returns people who currently have Oracle in their current role.

Unfortunately, that will match everyone who has "Oracle" on their resume, either from a former job, or just to say that they know how to work with Oracle databases.Instead, using advanced search, you can specify "Oracle" in the field directly for positions, even specifying the "current position only" check box. For example, if I'm looking for people who currently work at Oracle, I could just search for the keyword. This means that you don't have to combine everything into a generic keyword query - you can actually specify query terms for specific fields. One of the biggest advantages of the LinkedIn platform is that the data about people is in a structured format. So, using the example of a search for Java engineers for LinkedIn, here are five tips on how to search LinkedIn like a pro: However, I'm sharing them because I have found them immensely useful in the past few weeks, and hopefully some of you are interested in becoming power users of LinkedIn search. This seemed like a perfect opportunity to share some of the less obvious features of LinkedIn search, which when mastered can take your efforts to a whole new level. One of the most powerful things about the LinkedIn platform is its search capability, although it takes many people a while to discover the power of people search. (See here for the open job listings at LinkedIn). For example, we've been actively hiring developers with strong backgrounds in Java-based web development. As LinkedIn has been growing at an incredible pace, we've been actively using the platform ourselves to find great people to fill our open roles.
