This slide explained it very well and I use it to search my candidates and glad to see I come across a different set of candidates with the searches I run. Now I use it for all my searches. Hi Glen,
I have never really understood the NOT operator well when I read your other posts. This slide explained it very well and I use it to search my candidates and glad to see I come across a different set of candidates with the searches I run.

I refer to those techniques as "adaptive searching" and "deconstructing the perfect resume" - analyzing search results for clues as to additional keywords, companies and titles to use (or avoid!) in successive searches to get a larger quantity of more relevant results. Respect! @Kate – well done, and spoken like a black belt sourcer! I refer to those techniques as “adaptive searching” and “deconstructing the perfect resume” – analyzing search results for clues as to additional keywords, companies and titles to use (or avoid!) in successive searches to get a larger quantity of more relevant results.

Respect!

"Global Footprint Leader" at my company turns out to be "Emerging Market Development Leader" or "Global Sourcing Leader" at a Competitor's. And when I finally find a great candidate who matches my hard-to-define role, I look closely at his or her resume for anything I can use in my next search to find more like him/her--like a membership at an obscure but relevant professional organization.
