Hi Mike, I wanted to reach out and introduce myself, as we haven=92t had the cha= nce=20 to interact. (I have also sent you a message on LinkedIn) I am a=20 Technical Recruiter for Google.com Engineering and was wondering if you= =20 would be open to confidentially exploring engineering opportunities wit= h=20 Google. I am very curious about your current role as Co-Founder at=20 Cloudapt, LLC. I would like to schedule a quick exploratory chat to talk about the=20 teams at Google if this seems like something that you might be=20 interested. If this isn't the right time, perhaps we can follow up at = a=20 later date. Thank you for your time, xxx And the followup came on May 17th: Hi Mike, I sent you an email about a month ago and I wanted to follow up with yo= u=20 to see if you would be interested in learning more about engineering=20 opportunities at Google. I am very impressed with your profile=20 especially, your background in the Linux systems administration world=20 and your involvement with OpenStack. :-) I'd like to tell you more about the Google.com Engineering team, as wel= l=20 as answer any questions you may have about the teams here at Google. If now is not the right time for you, I completely understand. Please=20 let me know and I will make sure to update our records. I look forward to hearing from you!
