I hate to say it, but ... it's unlikely to happen.
The problem for you is that for most companies, there are plenty of leads in the sea.
For everyone like you, there are 100 who aren't. The likelihood you are objectively a better candidate than all those folks is ... low
Until that changes, your request pretty much won't happen.
(As for spamming, the author says it was 5 years ago,
"My first thought was "what took them so long?" - it has been five years since my last contact with a Google recruiter."
I don't think i would qualify reaching out every 5 years as spamming)

- yid 10y ago> So, you are saying the "talent shortage" is a load of bullshit? You can have a lot of something and still have a shortage.
- vonmoltke 10y agoThe original statement was "plenty", which is the opposite of "shortage". Also, while you can certainly have a lot of something in the absolute sense while still having a shortage relative to your needs, "shortage" applies that the additional things are not available. Having those things available but not having the resources to make use of them is not a shortage or that thing, it is a shortage of whatever resource is required to use that thing.
- tptacek 10y agoYes, the talent shortage is bullshit. There is a shortage of some specific combinations of credentials, but that has very little to do with how easy it is to find people to do specific jobs.
