Guidelines - Specific Rules for the 'Job Title' Search Operator

1. No need to specify the field for job titles:

   When searching within the Job Title field, there’s no need to use title: or jobtitle: before the search term in parentheses. By default, LinkedIn interprets these queries as targeting the Job Title field.

   Correct examples: (Manager), (Designer)

   Incorrect examples: title:(Manager) or jobtitle:(Manager)

2. Use of quotation marks ("") with the jobtitle operator:

   Only the Job Title operator allows quotation marks to search for two terms that must appear together as an exact phrase. Other operators, such as headline, summary, or skills, do not support this feature. In those fields, using quotation marks will not guarantee the terms appear together or in the same order.

   Correct for jobtitle: ("Java Engineer")

   For other fields like headline, you would need to use: headline:(Java) AND headline:(Engineer), as headline:(Java Engineer) would not guarantee that the terms are adjacent.
