Tips & TricksBoolean Search

Boolean Search

Use AND, OR, quotation marks, and parentheses to build precise, flexible search queries.

The Role & Title, Keywords, and Company filters support Boolean operators, which let you build more precise and flexible queries.

Simple searches — no brackets needed

When searching within a single category, list terms with OR between them:

VP OR "vice president" OR EVP OR SVP
sales OR AE OR "account executive" OR BD OR "business development"

Use quotation marks for multi-word phrases

Without quotes, each word is treated independently. Use quotes for an exact phrase:

✓  AE OR "account executive"
✗  AE OR account executive   (searches for AE, or account, or executive)

Use brackets to combine categories

Wrap each group in brackets and join with AND:

(manager OR lead OR senior) AND (sales OR account OR BD OR "business development")

This surfaces results like sales lead, BD manager, or senior account — combinations you might not type individually. The same logic applies to skills:

("javascript" OR JS) AND (python OR python3)
