As with Public Profile search, SeekOut supports a wide range of field-specific search capabilities in GitHub candidate search.
Field Search
To find words in a specific part of the candidate's profile, use the structure fieldname:(searchterm)
cur_title:(architect)
→ This finds anyone with architect somewhere in their title.
Boolean operators can be used with these field searches:
grad_year:2020 AND cur_title:("business analyst" OR engineer)
→ This finds anyone who graduated from college in 2020 and has a current title containing "business analyst" or "engineer."
You can also use wildcard operators in field searches:
cur_title:arch*
→ This finds anyone whose current title includes a word starting with "arch" (e.g., architect, archer, etc.)
