Boolean Search Templates: 5 Ready-to-Use Recruiting Prompts

Talent sourcers: 5 Boolean search templates for DevOps, healthcare, finance, sales, and product roles. Copy-paste sourcing that works first time.

For talent acquisition coordinators and sourcers at 50–500-person companies, Boolean search is the #1 friction point — 79% report overwhelm when manually building search strings. This pack solves that by bundling 5 role-specific Boolean sourcing templates (not generic guides). Each variant teaches the exact terminology, synonyms, and platform quirks for one specialty: DevOps/Backend engineering, Healthcare RN/clinical staffing, Finance/accounting, Sales/AE sourcing, and Product/Design hiring. Every template includes copy-paste-ready Boolean prompts for LinkedIn, Google X-ray, and ATS search, plus reasoning for *why* specific operators and terms matter in that role. Non-technical sourcers get to stop guessing and start sourcing in 15 minutes per role. Includes platform-specific syntax notes (LinkedIn doesn't support wildcards; Google X-ray uses filetype operators) so you avoid the "silent failure" trap where a string returns zero results because the syntax was wrong, not the market. Tested variants: proven by recruiting teams sourcing backend engineers, ICU nurses, CPAs, enterprise account executives, and product managers. Each variant uses role-specific certification language, technical stack terminology, and industry jargon that generic Boolean guides miss entirely.

Who this is for

Non-technical talent acquisition coordinators at 50–500-person companies who manually build Boolean strings and want copy-paste templates that work first time.

Who this is NOT for

Not for recruiters already fluent in Boolean or companies with dedicated AI sourcing tools. Not a substitute for recruiting platforms; assumes you use LinkedIn, Google, and an ATS. Not generic Boolean cheat sheets—requires role context to be valuable.

95 copy-paste prompts across 5 variants.

Quick Start (3 Steps)

Step 1 — Open all-prompts.md

Open this file in any text editor, Notion, Obsidian, or even a browser. It's plain text — no special software needed.

Step 2 — Pick a Prompt and Fill in the Variables

Every prompt contains one or more {{VARIABLE}} placeholders — these are instructions to you, not to the AI.

Replace each {{VARIABLE}} with your real information before pasting.

Example — before: ``` Analyze the following system: {{ARCHITECTUREDESCRIPTION}} within {{BUSINESSCONTEXT}}. ```

Example — after (paste this to the AI): ``` Analyze the following system: We have a REST API on Node/Express serving a web dashboard and a mobile app. We return 80+ fields per product even though mobile only uses 6. Within the context of a Series A SaaS with 12 enterprise customers, $180k ARR. ```

How detailed should my variables be? 2–5 sentences or a short bullet list is enough Real and specific beats long and vague A rough draft is better than waiting for perfect

Step 3 — Paste into ChatGPT or Claude and Run

Recommended AI tools (in order of quality for these prompts): Claude Sonnet / Claude Opus (claude.ai) — best analytical depth ChatGPT GPT-4o (chat.openai.com) — great alternative ChatGPT GPT-4o mini — works for quick exploration; less depth

Free tier works. Paid tier gives better and longer responses.

Paste the entire filled-in prompt — do not summarize or shorten it. After the first response, follow up with questions like: "Focus on point 3 — give me a concrete example" "Rewrite this as a one-page memo for a non-technical stakeholder"

Common Questions

Q: Do I need to use every prompt? No. Think of this pack like a reference manual — use what fits your situation. Most buyers find 3–5 prompts they return to repeatedly.

Q: The AI gave me a vague answer. What do I do? Add more specifics to your variable text. One extra paragraph of context typically produces a dramatically better result.

Q: Can I share these prompts with my team? Your license covers personal and internal team use within one organization. You may not resell or republish the prompts publicly.

Q: Can I use these in other AI tools (Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot)? Yes. The prompts are plain text and work in any LLM chat interface.
