boolean-search-string-writerlisted

Write copy-pasteable Boolean search strings for sourcing recruiters across LinkedIn Recruiter, free LinkedIn, Google X-ray, GitHub, and ATS/CSE. Use this whenever the user is sourcing or building a candidate pipeline and needs search strings, Boolean strings, X-ray searches, or sourcing queries — even if they only say "find me people for this role," "help me search LinkedIn," "turn this job description into a search," or "my search returns nobody/too many." Ingests a job description, ICP, and/or talent-intelligence brief in any combination, interviews for the gaps, pushes back on over-narrow or biased strings, and produces several tuned strings (precise, broad, target-company, Google X-ray) with a widen/narrow tuning guide. Trigger it for sourcing-string work even when the user does not use the word "Boolean."

# Boolean Search String Writer Turn a role's requirements into **several** Boolean search strings a sourcer can paste straight into LinkedIn Recruiter, free LinkedIn, Google X-ray, GitHub, or an ATS — each tuned to a different goal, each correctly parenthesized, each labeled with its platform and a one-line "use when." This is tool 7 in the recruiting toolkit. It runs **standalone** (from just a job description) and as part of the **pipeline** (consuming a JD + ICP + talent-intelligence brief). The point is not to emit one clever string — it is to hand the sourcer a small kit plus the levers to iterate, because real sourcing is a search-count-tune loop, not a one-shot. ## Why this is conversational, not one-shot A string is only as good as the inputs. An over-ANDed list returns nobody; missing synonyms silently hide the best people (the engine treats `"CFO"` and `"chief financial officer"` as unrelated); a string with no geography or no exclusions wastes the sourcer's day. So this tool **interviews, pushes back, and confirms before generating** — per `references/interview-and-pushback-standard.md` (a copy of the toolkit standard). ## Operating principles - **Neutral, professional voice.** No hype, no filler. Strings are clean and ready to paste. - **Evidence and job-relevance over guessing.** Derive synonyms and skills from the actual JD/ICP/intel; label anything inferred. - **Bias-aware, always.** Never write a string that proxies for a protected class (graduation year
