Don’t
• List all job specifics
• Include job title or req ID in
the subject line
• Use jargon & biz-speak
• Ask for a resume right away

Are you ready for your next play?
Hi Kim,
Very nice to meet you via LinkedIn. By way of introduction, I
am a senior executive recruiter in the technology practice at
KTR Partners.
We recently launched a search for a Manager, Industrial
Design for one of our large client’s Design Product Group -
encompassing the entire existing and future product roadmap
for the company's high-end consumer and enterprise
products. This individual will lead a globally distributed team of
senior design leaders in defining the vision and design
strategy for mobile, PC, hybrid and enterprise devices.
Our client’s leadership team has been ramping up investment
in all areas of design, including the opening of design centers
all over the world. As the leader of the Industrial Design team,
this individual will play a key role in the evolution of the
company.
Based on your background, I thought that this role could be an
interesting fit for you or, if not, for someone you might highly
recommend. Either way, it would be great to connect as I lead
many senior design searches for our firm each year.
Would it be possible to find a few minutes for a call? Thanks
in advance.

You
Ann,
First, apologies for the unsolicited message but I was hoping
to get your thoughts on a current search. We have been hired
to recruit a CFO to a global, publicly-traded company with
close to $3B in annual revenues. The company would prefer
to remain confidential at this but highlights include:
• Ideally, sitting public company CFO but will consider large
divisional CFO (or strong Treasurer/CAO)
• Significant experience in managing financial operations
within a global manufacturing business
• Ability to oversee accounting, capital markets, Tax, Treasury
and Investor Relations
• Appetite for growth with a focus on M&A/Corporate
Development
• Desire for international travel
• Role could be based in either Texas or Europe
I would be happy to discuss the details with you, as well as
send you a full position description. If you’re interested, let’s
set up some time to talk. Does next week work?

Hey Tara
Just ran across your info on LinkedIn and wanted to reach out. I'm a
Recruiter in New York and have a client in the loop that's looking to
hire a Contract Recruiter. They're a huge international law firm and
are looking to hire someone with a couple years of agency
experience. It'll start out as a one year contract and will likely
eventually go full-time, but they don't have headcount approved right
now - hence the contract route. Anyways... not sure if you're happy in
your current role or if you're looking to make a move over to the
corporate side, but thought I'd drop you a line. Interested in
chatting?

Hi John,
I am hoping to interest you in a principal/senior role with the
world’s largest online credit marketplace. They’re completely
rebooting the 2.7 trillion dollar financial industry. Since their
($9 billion!) IPO in May 2014, they have been on an incredible
growth trajectory. They’re looking for a highly motivated
software engineer like yourself who’s interested in developing
scaling products and solutions.
I took it upon myself to share your profile with the Engineering
Manager and needless to say he was impressed with your
background and experience at LinkedIn - hence the reason for
my note. I am sure you are busy, but I would value the
opportunity to speak with you about your career plans and
some of the cool initiatives the team is working on.
Would you be open to having a 15 minute conversation next
week?
Thanks,

First, thank you for taking the time out of your busy day.
I want to first let you know I am not trying to recruit you. I don't
use LinkedIn that way. I do believe in the power of
networking. I am hoping you might have a referral that would
be intrigued by a new recruiting or sales opportunity.
We are looking to add a perm recruiter and culture fit to our
growing team at DEW. After spending a big chunk of my
careers at some of the top IT staffing firms in the country. I
wanted to be more then just a number and wanted to work for
a company that truly cared about the employee and was
flexible on hours not just face time or the bottom dollar. Were
more interested in the right personality and drive the skill set
we can teach.
I can only promise you like the last two people referred to that
currently work for us. They will thank for years to come. From
flexibility to being part of not just a team but also a family. If
you know an individual looking for a change please let me
know. Or if you just want to network and use me as a trump
card in your back pocket send me your email address and I
will send you an invite.
Have a great day!
