<p>Nick - Welcome aboard. There are a few key ways to achieve this. It depends on the version of LinkedIn you are using as well. Assuming you are using the basic account, you can do the following:</p>
<p>1. Try search only for contacts listed as open to career opportunities.</p>
<p>2. Remember that LinkedIn has no limit on the # of terms searched: Add this phrase into your search: ("looking for" OR "currently looking" OR "new career" OR "new job") </p>

<p>Search for "looking for a new opportunity" or variations of that (searching/seeking | position/challenge etc.) - they often put it into the professional headline. Of course, you also need to filter for position/industry.</p>

<p>Try adding "seeking" or "available" to your search. You'll find a few that use that indicator. (You'll also have to sort through quite a few recruiters "seeking top talent" or that have "awesome opportunities available" and such, but you'll get there...)</p>

<p>That is an awesome question. I've had success in doing the Boolean search and then contacting everyone I can in that specific skill set. Sometimes it's just a numbers game... the more people you contact - the more chances you have of a few people getting back to you. I've noticed that a lot of people don't change the dates their jobs when they are unemployed (at least not right away). Good luck!</p>
