X-Ray Searching LinkedIn….the NEW way

If you are reading this, you probably already know how to X-Ray search LinkedIn using the wonderful Google. As this is my first post, I’m not going to go too deep, but most people are still using the old way of searching LinkedIn which looks something like this:

site:www.linkedin.com intitle:linkedin KEYWORDS HERE -intitle:answers -intitle:updated -intitle:blog -intitle:directory -inurl:jobs
LinkedIn recently changed all public URL’s to include a country code at the beginning.For example, mine is now uk.linkedin.com/in/aaronneale
So for those that don’t already know (and that’s a lot of you), your new search if you are in the UK will simply be this:
inurl:uk.linkedin.com Keywords
This now gives you the added love of searching in different countries if you are a global recruiter e.g:
inurl:de.linkedin.com Keywords
inurl:fr.linkedin.com Keywords
Enjoy!
