X-ray search should be a key part of any recruiter's talent sourcing tool kit. But what does it mean? X-ray search is one of the things I'm asked to explain most often. Many experienced recruiters don't know what it means, or why you might use it. That's OK, I'm here...

I work with a lot of recruiters that find Boolean logic and search engine operators difficult to get their heads around. You can still get a lot out of your search tools though, even if you’re totally bamboozled by Boolean. I’ve been thinking about the searches I run...
Your public LinkedIn profile is what can be seen by someone who is not logged into the website. It’s also the version of your profile that is visible to search engines.
Copy and paste your profile URL into a private browsing window (if you’re using Google Chrome, it’s called an incognito window).
This will have ramifications for the findability of our profiles – so make sure you get important keywords into visible areas of your profile. You might want to consider how you use the Projects section – see my handy guide to adding Projects to your LinkedIn profile. (link to other blog post)
Perhaps the most important consequence of this for recruiters and sourcers is how much this will impact X-Ray search.
