An InMail is a message to someone outside your network, and your account gives you a limited number of them, so each one should deserve the send. From who they are, what you are asking for, and why you are credible, this writes a subject line that says what the message is about and a body short enough to be read to the end.
Result
This is the shape of what comes back. Fill in the form, or hit "Try an example", and the grey turns into words.
Writing, usually 15 to 30 seconds.
Example run
Subject under 60 characters, message under 120 words, why-them in the first sentence, and an easy out in the last line. That is what gets InMails answered.

Your two senior backend roles
You have posted twice about senior backend hiring, so I will keep this short. I run a technical recruiting firm. Thirty of our last forty placements were senior backend engineers at healthcare companies, which is why your posts stood out. If the two roles are still open, I would like 20 minutes to explain how our contract-to-hire model works and whether it fits your team. If hiring is already covered, ignore this and good luck with the search.
Why it matters
InMail lands without an introduction, so all the credibility has to live in the message itself and in the profile behind it. Short and specific is what survives that bar.

Beyond the demo
The generator above works with whatever fits in a few fields. Connect LinkedIn to Depost AI, the AI content team B2B founders and teams run on LinkedIn, and the same kind of draft starts from your analytics, your voice, and the buyers you are actually trying to reach.
The agents read your posting history first: the hooks that earned the click, the pillars your audience answers, the rhythm of what worked. The draft sounds like you because it learned from you, not from a form.
Build custom lists of the people you want to stay visible to. Their new posts arrive in one feed with a comment drafted in your voice under each. You edit or approve every one before it goes anywhere.
Finished drafts go to the queue and publish through LinkedIn’s official API, with the first comment written alongside. Connection notes and follow-ups are drafted with the context already in place. Nothing goes out until you approve it.
Connect LinkedIn and you have a strategy, your pillars, and your first post ideas in about fifteen minutes.
Every recipient of a cold message runs the same check before reading past line one: is this actually for me, or am I a row in a spreadsheet? The first sentence has to settle it, which is why the generator opens with why them specifically, built from whatever you put in the recipient field. "You have posted twice about hiring senior backend people" survives the check. "I came across your profile" does not, because it is what the spreadsheet says too.
This is also why the credibility field is required. The recipient's second question is "who is this person to ask", and one concrete sentence ("30 of our last 40 placements were senior backend roles in healthcare") answers it without the résumé. Credibility stated as fact reads fine; credibility stated as enthusiasm reads as a pitch deck.
The middle of the message is one sentence: the ask. Twenty minutes, an intro, a look at a role, an answer to a specific question. Two asks halve each other, and a vague ask ("would love to connect and explore synergies") transfers the work of figuring out what you want onto the person you are asking a favour of. Decide before you generate; the purpose field is the decision.
Then send it and stop. One follow-up a week later is persistence; more is a pattern the recipient has seen from every tool-armed seller this quarter. The scarcity of InMails is on your side here, since it makes restraint the default.
