Quotes

Quotation marks ensure search results carry the words in the specific order you entered and are recognized as a single word. If you would like to search for an exact phrase, enclose the phrase in quotation marks. You can use these in addition to other operators/modifiers.

• "product manager"
• "account representative"
• "executive assistant"

Resumes that contain exact phrase, product manager, account representative, or executive assistant

Or

Broaden the search by using the uppercase word OR. Search resumes that include any of these four words. It can be one of them, all of them, or anything in between. Use OR to separate the words and phrases. Use quotation marks for phrases or multiple words.

• Recruiter OR Recruitment OR Recruiting OR Recruit
• "Account Executive" OR "Account Exec" OR "Account
• Manager" OR "Sales Executive"

Resumes that contain any string of words and phrases used such as Recruit or Account Executive, etc.

Wildcard

The * (asterisk) is a wildcard character. Resumes that contain words that start with Recruit.

• Recruit*

Resumes that contain Recruiter, or Recruitment, or Recruiting

AND

Narrow the search by using the word AND. Use quotations marks for phrases or multiple words.

• Recruiter AND "Human Resources"
• "customer service" AND hospitality

Resumes that contain the exact word or phrase Recruiter and Human Resources

NOT

Narrow the search by using the word NOT. The search results exclude specific keywords or phrases.

Parentheses

Parentheses are used to separate phrases using the OR operator from the words or phrases using the AND operator. If you would like to do a complex search you can combine terms and modifiers.

• Software AND (engineer OR architect)
• (“human resources” OR HR) AND "customer service"

Resumes that contain both software engineers and software architects

AND + OR
Space

Narrow the search by using the words AND plus OR that contain the word Recruiter as well as the exact phrase Human Resource OR the acronym HR, or both. The space in between the two acts like the Boolean operator AND.
