🎯 Sourcing Tip Day 116: Use “Skill Stack” Searches on LinkedIn

When sourcing for niche roles, don’t just search for a single skill — look for skill stacks that reflect how professionals describe their capabilities.

📍 Example:
Instead of searching “Data Engineer AND Python”, try —
(“Data Engineering” AND “Python” AND (“ETL” OR “AWS” OR “Snowflake”))

✅Why it works:

1️⃣ It helps you find professionals who have a blend of complementary skills, not just one keyword.

2️⃣ Increases your chances of identifying full-skill-fit candidates rather than partial matches.

💡 Pro Tip: Review top profiles from search results — note the most frequent skill combinations, then reuse those in your future Boolean strings!
