How to find Java Developers with Boolean search strings

Use Boolean logic on Google to find Java Developers (profiles and resumes.) Modify our search
string examples to hire developers who can write clean, efficient code in Java.

Generic search string to find Java Developers


Build a Boolean search string for Java developers according to your needs:

-job -jobs -sample -examples, to avoid irrelevant results


(intitle:resume OR intitle:cv), to discover candidates’ online resumes or CVs
(“Java developer” OR “Java programmer”) to cover variations of the same job title

Here’s an example of a generic search string that you can further modify to find talented
candidates:

(intitle:resume OR intitle:cv) (“Java developer” OR “Java programmer”) -job -jobs -sample


-examples

When running this command using Google, you will get results that include the words “resume” or
“CV” in the page title. Adding variations of developer job titles provides more relevant results. And,
excluding more terms reduces false positives.

Searching for profiles of Java Developers


Search for Java Developers on specific sites, like Stack Overflow, through Google by including the
site: operator and terms found exclusively on member profiles. For example:

site:stackoverflow.com/users/ “Java developer” “badges”


site:github.com “joined on” “Java developer” Chicago
site:meetup.com “member since” “Java developer”

Add more criteria in your search to find profiles that better match your requirements.

When sourcing EU candidates, please refer to guidance on using social media for recruiting
and collecting candidate information as per the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR.
