The Boolean String Is Not Dead!

The spraying and praying method is not the only way to find great candidates. Actively sourcing candidates plays a big role in finding excellent candidates.

A boolean string search is a search where you can type keywords and modifiers like AND, OR to get more refined searches. Let's say you are searching for an administrative assistant in NYC.
