Writing a Compelling Linkedin InMail

InMails are expensive but quite useful.  If you take your time to devise  compelling text for your inmail, you will reap the benefits.  While each person won't be a slam dunk for the position at hand, you will have impressed them with your style enough to rise above the recruiter fray.  

1. The Subject:

I often spend the most time on this part.  It should clearly convey the reason for the message.  It should be catchy but not salesy.  It should be complimentary…

When does an Interview become a consulting gig?

I have this client, see.  He is a first time CEO.  NIce company, good product- early stage, angel funded (so cash is king) but profitable.  Going out for VC funding soon.

The issue is he's not hiring anyone.  Well he is for one role but we are sending candidates opportunistically.   He's offering them consulting gigs (which is fine as these are exploso candidates) but when the subject of money comes up, he says something to the effect of "well, i'm letting them peek under the kimono…

Hi Bill:  Here is an offer letter I particularly like.  The tone is wonderful and there isn't too much legalese.  I have, of course, edited it:

Hi Bill,

Nice to touch base with you on Recruiting Blogs.  Joking aside I see you are west coast US based.  I am here in London, UK.  I do some US recruiting from time to time.  I am not sure if any of your companies ever look for EMEA/European based staff.  I am a bit of a specialist in early stage tech companies and have helped some US companies build their operations from scratch in EMEA.  I thought there may be potential for mutual benefit between us.  If not, no worries, and nice to 'meet' you.
