Subject: [role type] hiring at [company]

Hello [first name],

I run [agency], where we place [role type] for [kind of company] in [region]. [One proof point that is true and checkable, such as a count of placements in the last year.]

Are you hiring [role type] this quarter, and is that handled in house or with a partner?

[Name]
Follow up, about 4 days later
Hello [first name],

One more line in case it helps: [a single fact about how you work, for example how fast you send a shortlist]. If someone else owns hiring for [role type], I would be grateful for their name.

Why each line is there

Line by line
One role typeA narrow offer is easier to place in a busy person's head than "all kinds of talent".
A proof point that can be checkedDo not invent a number. If you have none, leave the line out.
A question about how it is handled nowIt is easy to answer and it shows whether you are talking to the right person.
Asking for the right nameIt turns a miss into a referral.
