Modify our search string examples to recruit professionals who can lead your IT department and

Generic search string to find a CIO
Build a search according to your needs:
-job -jobs -sample -examples, to avoid irrelevant results
(intitle:resume OR CV), to discover candidates’ online resumes or CVs
(“chief information officer” OR CIO) to cover variations of the same job title
Here’s an example of a generic search string that you can further modify to find talented
candidates:
(intitle:resume OR cv) (“chief information officer” OR CIO) -job -jobs -sample -examples
When running this command using Google, you will get results that include the words “resume” or
“CV” in the page title. And, excluding more terms reduces false positives.
Searching for profiles of a CIO
Search for Chief Information Officers on specific sites through Google by including the site:
operator and terms found exclusively on member profiles. For example:
site:meetup.com “member since” “chief information officer”
site:quora.com “credentials & highlights” “CIO”
Add more criteria in your search to find profiles that better match your requirements.
