How to use LinkedIn Boolean search

Boolean search uses three operators: AND (all terms must match), OR (any term matches, wrap in parentheses), and NOT (exclude a term). Use quotes for exact phrases. Paste the generated string into the LinkedIn search bar, filter to People, and you have a targeted list. To turn that list into a spreadsheet, use the Leadsforlinked extension (no Sales Navigator needed).

Frequently asked questions

Can I just describe who I am looking for in plain English?

Yes. Type something like "heads of sales at SaaS companies in London, not recruiters" in the box at the top. The tool pulls out the role, the industry, the location and the exclusions, expands common job titles to their synonyms, and fills the fields below. Everything stays editable, and it all runs in your browser with no signup.

Why does it add job titles I did not type?

Because no single person holds every version of a title. Someone doing the head of sales job may be listed as VP Sales, Sales Director or Chief Revenue Officer. Grouping the variants with OR is what turns a search that returns almost nobody into one that returns everyone doing that job. Remove any variant you do not want from the Job titles field.

What is a LinkedIn Boolean search?

It combines keywords with AND, OR, and NOT, plus quotes and parentheses, to filter LinkedIn people search precisely, for example ("head of sales" OR "VP sales") AND SaaS NOT recruiter.

Do I need Sales Navigator for Boolean search?

No. Boolean operators work in the standard LinkedIn search bar. Sales Navigator is optional, and so is it with Leadsforlinked.

How do I export the people a Boolean search finds?

Run the string in LinkedIn search, then export to CSV with the Leadsforlinked Chrome extension. Your first 100 leads are free, no card required.
