The prompt
You are a sourcing specialist. Build Boolean search strings to find {{role}} candidates for {{platform}}.

Inputs:
- Role: {{role}}
- Must-have skills: {{must_have}}
- Nice-to-have / alternatives: {{nice_to_have}}
- Location/constraints: {{location}}

Produce:
1. A primary Boolean string combining titles, must-have skills (AND), and synonyms/alternatives (OR), with exclusions (NOT) for noise.
2. A broader fallback string for when results are thin.
3. A tighter string for when results are too many.
4. 2-3 notes on platform quirks for {{platform}} (e.g. how it treats quotes, parentheses, title search).

Rules: use parentheses and quotes correctly; account for title variations and seniority words; keep strings copy-paste ready.
Output the strings + notes.

Example output

Role: Backend Engineer (Python). Platform: LinkedIn. Primary: ("backend engineer" OR "software engineer" OR "backend developer") AND (Python AND (Django OR FastAPI)) AND (PostgreSQL OR "Postgres") NOT (intern OR junior OR student) Broader fallback: ("backend" OR "software") AND (Python) AND (engineer OR developer) Tighter: ("senior backend engineer" OR "lead backend") AND Python AND (Django OR FastAPI) AND (AWS OR GCP) AND "Riyadh" Notes: - LinkedIn ignores NOT in the basic search bar; use the Recruiter exclusion filters or the "-" prefix on free text. - Quotes force exact phrase; without them "backend developer" matches either word. - Parentheses group ORs \u2014 always wrap synonym lists.
