This is where you're wrong, they're not specifically recruiting this individual. They're playing a statistical game - use as many sources as possible to fill the pipeline in hopes that some percentage will make it through to the end. I'm sure the recruiters are incented to make as many contacts as they can. Google is all about automation, and I'm sure their process for identifying potential candidates has no human input whatsoever.
- madeofpalk 10y agoI think we're agreeing with each other. Maybe I poorly phrased my comment, but I don't think sending an automated form email counts as 'specifically recruiting' OP, nor do I expect Google to spend time prior researching them.
- mark-r 10y agoYou're right, I totally misread your comment - if they were recruiting a specific person, they would have spent the 5 minutes to check them out. I don't think the emails are automated, I really do think there's a human at the other end, if nothing else they need someone to read your response. It's just that they're spending a minimal amount of time just to try to get you on the hook, and they'll use whatever information the automated system gave them to do that.
