Boolean Search Strings for Hiring in Germany
Germany pairs StepStone with Xing, the professional network that predates LinkedIn's hold on the market — so professional-profile search here spans two networks, not one.

What changes when you hire in Germany
- Xing profiles live on a different host to LinkedIn, so our X-Ray string, which targets site:linkedin.com/in/, will not reach them — search that network directly.
- A German-language title list materially widens the result set outside multinational employers.
Hiring in Germany FAQs
Which job boards do recruiters use in Germany?
StepStone (Highest-volume German board.); Xing (German-speaking professional network.); LinkedIn (Multinational and English-language roles.). Paste the ATS string into the keyword box of any board that runs on standard Boolean; platform-specific dialects — Indeed's title filter, Bing X-Ray and public-CV X-Ray — are generated from your live JD in the workspace.
How do I write a Boolean search string for a Supply Chain Manager in Berlin?
Start from the ATS string above: alternate titles in one parenthesized OR group, core skills in a second, credentials in a third, and the location group last. It happens to be Berlin here, so the same position works for any other city — swap the location term rather than rewriting the string. Keep operators uppercase, quote every multi-word phrase, and never nest more than two levels deep.
Do I need to search in German?
Hiring in Germany mostly runs in German, so an English-only title list returns a fraction of the market. Use the strings above for the English-language and multinational roles they are built for, and run a separate search on German job titles — the boards listed above are where those titles live. Do not translate and OR both languages into one group: that widens the result set instead of narrowing it.
