RecruiterFlow SQL Query Generator

This tool takes a step away from boolean strings and helps recruiters get even more specific when searching for the perfect developer candidate.

Stack Overflow let users query their internal database in an SQL format that can give you specifically people who have written answers/asked questions for the skills you are searching for. However, SQL is not as easy as boolean and most of us recruiters and sources have been so obsessed with boolean that we have never even taken a second look at SQL based stack overflow database.

Boolean search ranks users based on their total inbound links(not a very good proxy for skill, or overall ranking) instead of the community points they have earned on a particular skill.
