Write a LinkedIn InMail with a subject line to Jordan, currently Senior Product Designer at a fintech startup, about our Lead Product Designer role. Why I'm reaching out to them specifically: Their case study on redesigning a payments onboarding flow, and they've mentored junior designers. The one thing about the role most likely to interest them: building the design team from 2 to 6 people Sound like a peer, not a recruiter: casual, curious and brief. No 'exciting opportunity' or 'I came across your profile'. Under 90 words. Reference something specific from their profile in the first line. End with an easy yes/no question, not a request to send a resume. I'm a recruiter at [Company], a [size]-person [industry] company. What candidates should know: [mission in one line], [work setup: remote / hybrid / on-site], [two standout benefits]. Use inclusive, plain language: no gendered words, no 'rockstar', 'ninja' or 'young and energetic', no culture-fit jargon, and never ask about or refer to age, family status, health, religion or nationality. Only list requirements that are truly required.
