Hi Ceph,

It looks like Google has a github bot harvesting mails from repositories and fishing for job applicants. I guess every committer got the exact same message addressed to the mail(s) that show in the commits. There is nothing to be done about it but it is worth mentioning, in public, that it is bad practice to try to disguise a mail as if it was written by someone who cares. I'm a somewhat ashamed to say that I was flattered to receive the mail, because I have a high opinion of Google technical skills and recruitment process. When I realized a bot was the source, I felt stupid. I'm not sure that's a profitable recruiting technique.

Cheers

Hi XXX,

How are you today? :-)

I'm Darren and I am part of the Google Engineering Recruitment team. I came across your profile previously through your commitment to Ceph and your personal site. Some of your other projects and experience are really interesting! 

Your experience of development with open source file systems looks excellent and you clearly have a passion for your open-source work which is awesome! 

Can I ask what languages do you code with usually?

I have a couple of roles in particular that I am hiring for and I was hoping you might be interested in speaking about some of these, would you be? 

Let me know and I would be happy to schedule a friendly call at a time that is convenient for you.

Many Thanks,
