The search builder reads your job ad and writes four searches for you to paste: one each for LinkedIn, LinkedIn Recruiter, Google and Bing.
Each search uses the job titles people in this work really use and the skills from your ad, written the way that site reads a search.
Before you see them, every search is checked against that site's rules, so it runs the first time.

Questions employers ask
How do I find candidates on LinkedIn without paying for Recruiter?
Copy the LinkedIn search into the search bar on LinkedIn, choose People, and set Locations to the area you hire in. A free account can run it, within LinkedIn’s monthly limit on people searches. The Google and Bing searches find public LinkedIn profiles too.
What is a Boolean search, in plain words?
A search that says how words combine. OR means any of these words, AND means this word as well, and quotation marks keep a phrase together. "CNC Machinist" OR "CNC Operator" finds people with either title.
Can I search LinkedIn profiles through Google?
Yes. The Google and Bing searches look only at public LinkedIn profile pages, so they work without a LinkedIn login. They see only what people chose to make public, so they find fewer people than LinkedIn itself.
Do I need to give my email?
With no email, the tool reads your ad and shows how many job titles and skills it found, with the fair hiring check. To see the searches, confirm your work email once: we send one link, and there is no password.
