🕵️ Sourcing Tip Day 151: Use “Boolean NOT” to Reduce Candidate Noise

One of the most underrated sourcing skills is removing irrelevant profiles from your search.
Using Boolean NOT helps you clean your results and focus only on truly relevant candidates.

✅ How to Use It

If you’re searching for Java Developers, but LinkedIn keeps showing JavaScript Developers, try this:

Java Developer NOT JavaScript NOT “Front End”

This instantly removes a big chunk of unwanted profiles.

🌐 Why This Works

✅ Reduces screening time

✅ Removes profile noise

✅ Sharpens your results

✅ Helps you focus on actual target talent

✨ Pro Tip

Keep a small list of your most common “NOT” keywords (e.g., “intern”, “training”, “javascript”, “sales”)
Paste them quickly into any search to improve accuracy.
