Turn prospect criteria into a LinkedIn-ready Boolean search string.

Customise & copy

Add the context you have. The prompt updates as you work.

Target job title or function *

Enter the prospect's job title or functional role.

Target industry

Enter the target company's industry.

Target company size

Enter a company-size range or category.

Target location *

Enter the target city, region, or country.

Years of experience

Connection degree preference

Choose the preferred LinkedIn connection degree.

Live prompt

6 fields

Convert the supplied prospect criteria into one LinkedIn-compatible Boolean search query string. Use only these field labels: title, industry, companySize, geo, yearsExperience, connectionDegree. Format each populated criterion as field:"value" and join criteria with AND. Omit any optional criterion that is blank or set to Any. Do not invent information, broaden the criteria, ask questions, or include explanations, labels, markdown, or a trailing period. Return the plain text query string only.

Target job title or function: {{target_role}}
Target industry: {{target_industry}}
Target company size: {{company_size}}
Target location: {{target_location}}
Years of experience: {{years_experience}}
Connection degree preference: Any

A small ritual that works

How to use it

01Enter the target job title or function and location.
02Add industry, company size, years of experience, or connection degree if needed.
03Leave optional fields blank or set connection degree to Any when not applicable.
04Copy the generated plain-text query into LinkedIn search.

Why it works

The prompt defines a fixed translation pattern from six prospect criteria into a single Boolean query. It restricts the allowed field labels, places each populated value in field:"value" format, joins included criteria with AND, and gives explicit rules for omitting blank or Any selections. The plain-text-only instruction also keeps the requested output focused on a directly usable query string.

Where it fails

The structure is limited to one value per field and AND-based matching. It does not provide rules for alternatives, exclusions, grouped conditions, ranges beyond the supplied text, phrase escaping, or platform-specific differences in Boolean syntax. It also treats user-entered values as ready for insertion rather than defining normalization or validation rules.

Customisation tips

Add fields only when the destination search system supports them and define each field's exact label and formatting. If broader targeting is needed, specify whether multiple values should use OR, whether groups require parentheses, and how exclusions should be written. For controlled inputs, replace free-text fields with defined options or add normalization rules for spacing, punctuation, ranges, and special characters.

Watch-outs

The required role and location inputs are central to the query structure, while the other criteria are optional.
The connection-degree default of Any is designed to be omitted rather than written into the query.
Values such as company-size ranges and experience thresholds are inserted as text; the prompt does not define how those values should be interpreted.
The field mapping is intentionally strict, so changing labels or adding explanatory text would conflict with the requested format.
