Draft outreach

Subject: your company — your work at Stripe caught our attention

Hi {{first_name}},

I lead hiring at your company. I saw the announcement at Stripe and wanted to reach out directly, before the recruiter noise picks up.

The work your team has done on Go + Kubernetes is exactly the kind of engineering we're investing in right now. We have 3 senior roles open that map directly to what you've been building. Compensation is market-leading, the team is small and senior, and we can move from intro to offer in under two weeks for the right person.

Would you be open to a 20-minute intro this week or next? No pressure either way — happy to share more about the role and the team first so you can decide on your own terms.

Best,
{{your_name}}
your company
