Naukri Resdex

("Backend Engineer" OR "Backend Developer" OR "Software Engineer") AND Java AND "Spring Boot" AND (Kafka OR AWS OR Microservices) AND (Bengaluru OR Bangalore) AND NOT (intern OR fresher)

Paste into the keyword box with “Boolean” switched on. Location is also a filter; keeping it in the query catches profiles that list it in text.

LinkedIn Recruiter / search

("Backend Engineer" OR "Backend Developer" OR "Software Engineer") AND Java AND "Spring Boot" AND (Kafka OR AWS OR Microservices) NOT (intern OR fresher)

LinkedIn ignores location in the keyword box; use the location filter instead. NOT is supported, AND is implied by spaces but written here for clarity.

Google X-ray

site:linkedin.com/in ("Backend Engineer" OR "Backend Developer" OR "Software Engineer") AND Java AND "Spring Boot" AND (Kafka OR AWS OR Microservices) AND (Bengaluru OR Bangalore) -intern -fresher

Paste into Google to find public LinkedIn profiles without a Recruiter seat.

How it works

  1. 01

    List what you want

    Titles, skills that must be present, skills that help, cities.

  2. 02

    Add exclusions

    Words that pull in the wrong profiles: intern, trainee, fresher, a competitor's name.

  3. 03

    Copy the string

    Each platform gets its own syntax. Paste into the search box and refine.

Questions

Why does Naukri need a different string?+

Resdex supports brackets and AND, OR, NOT but treats some operators differently from LinkedIn. The builder writes each one in the syntax the platform expects.

What is Google X-ray?+

A Google search limited to a site such as linkedin.com/in, useful for finding public profiles without a paid seat.

Does HireZeta have this built in?+

Yes. Boolean search runs over the full text of every resume in your database, ranked against the role.
