"Dietitian / Nutritionist" AND "Nutritional assessment" AND "Medical nutrition therapy" AND "Care plan development" NOT "recruiter" NOT "intern"site:linkedin.com/in/ "Dietitian / Nutritionist" "Nutritional assessment" "Medical nutrition therapy" "Care plan development"Run this search on Google →How this string is built
The role title in quotes, ANDed with the top must-have skills for a dietitian / nutritionist — Nutritional assessment, Medical nutrition therapy, Care plan development — each in quotes so LinkedIn and Google match the exact phrase rather than any word in it separately. NOT "recruiter" NOT "intern" filters out the two most common sources of false positives.
Other must-have skills worth adding
If the search above returns too many results, AND in more of these to narrow further:
- Patient education
- Electronic health records
- RD/RDN credential
- Diabetes education certification
- Sports nutrition specialization
Other titles to search for a dietitian / nutritionist
The same job is also called Registered Dietitian, Clinical Dietitian, Nutritionist, Nutrition Consultant. Searching only for “Dietitian / Nutritionist” misses those people, so join the titles with OR inside brackets and AND the skills after them.
Five searches to run, from broad to narrow
- Broad: every title, one core skill
("Dietitian / Nutritionist" OR "Registered Dietitian" OR "Clinical Dietitian" OR "Nutritionist" OR "Nutrition Consultant") AND "Nutritional assessment" - Focused: three skills, with the noise removed
("Dietitian / Nutritionist" OR "Registered Dietitian" OR "Clinical Dietitian") AND "Nutritional assessment" AND "Medical nutrition therapy" AND "Care plan development" NOT "nutrition sales" NOT "personal trainer" NOT "chef" - Tools and credentials: the nice-to-haves as an OR group
("Dietitian / Nutritionist" OR "Registered Dietitian" OR "Clinical Dietitian") AND ("RD/RDN credential" OR "Diabetes education certification" OR "Sports nutrition specialization") - Google X-ray on LinkedIn profiles
site:linkedin.com/in/ ("Dietitian / Nutritionist" OR "Registered Dietitian" OR "Clinical Dietitian") "Nutritional assessment" "Medical nutrition therapy" - Feeder role: people from a neighbouring job
"Nutrition Assistant" AND "Nutritional assessment" AND "Medical nutrition therapy"
Start with the broad search to see how large the pool is. If it is too big, move to the focused one. If it is too small, drop a skill or use the feeder search.
Noise to exclude for this role
For a dietitian / nutritionist the usual false positives are nutrition sales, personal trainer, chef. Each one added with NOT removes a group of profiles that look similar but are not the job.
Where else to look
Good dietitian / nutritionist candidates often come from Nutrition Assistant, Health Coach, Food Service Manager. Search for them with the same core skills, then check that they are ready to move.
What to check on the profile
Registration, the setting and the conditions treated.
Credentials to confirm
The registration or qualification required where you hire. Titles are often protected.
Frequently asked questions
Why AND the skills together instead of OR?
AND narrows to candidates who show evidence of every listed skill — good for a first-pass search on a specific role. If that returns too few results, dropping to OR between the least-critical skills (keeping the must-haves ANDed) widens the pool without losing precision on what actually matters.
Why exclude "recruiter" and "intern"?
Those two terms are the most common source of false positives in a dietitian / nutritionist search — recruiters and internship-seekers whose profiles happen to mention the same skill keywords. Adjust or remove the exclusion if it's cutting out candidates you actually want (e.g. if you're specifically hiring for an internship).
How is this different from the full Boolean Search Generator tool?
This is a static starting-point example built from dietitian / nutritionist's most common requirements. The tool builds a tailored version from your actual job description — different seniority, location, and specific must-haves than this generic example.
What other job titles should I search for a dietitian / nutritionist?
The same job is also called Registered Dietitian, Clinical Dietitian, Nutritionist, Nutrition Consultant. Put them in a bracketed OR group so one search covers them all, for example ("Dietitian / Nutritionist" OR "Registered Dietitian" OR "Clinical Dietitian").
What should I exclude when sourcing a dietitian / nutritionist?
The usual noise is nutrition sales, personal trainer, chef. Add each with NOT so the results are people who do the job, not people near it.
Where else can I find dietitian / nutritionist candidates?
Look at people in related roles who already have the core skills: Nutrition Assistant, Health Coach, Food Service Manager. Search for them with the same skills and check whether they are ready to move across.
