  Updated Google Resume Search String for LinkedIn  
   

In the last couple of weeks you might have noticed that a typical LinkedIn X-ray search on Google does not return the usual results.

For example consider the search string example that we published in one of our newsletters earlier:

site:linkedin.com java c++ (programmer OR developer) "greater atlanta" -inurl:directory

When you click on the first search result for the above string, instead of taking you to the person's individual profile, it will take you to a LinkedIn page where results are organized by first or last name.

You can overcome this by including a '-inurl:dir' to the above search string. So the search syntax would now be

site:linkedin.com keyword (title) "state" -inurl:directory -inurl:dir

So if you are looking for java & C++ programmers in greater Atlanta, your search string will be

site:linkedin.com java c++ (programmer OR developer) "greater atlanta" -inurl:directory -inurl:dir

  Manage your Client's Choices  
   

Consider this scenario: You present an exceptional candidate to your client. She is much more than what your client was expecting to find in the market. The response from your client - "Looks Ok. Let's see some more candidates." Sound familiar?

Any client/hiring manager would love to have a number of candidates to choose from. So, you might want to give them as many alternatives as possible; well, DON’T. This is one of the key factors that prolong a placement, or even worse, end it.

Whenever you find an exceptional candidate, always present at least one or two other weaker candidates at the same time or within a day or two. By doing this, you make it easier for your clients to decide on a candidate and keep them from wanting to see 'some more candidates'.
