If I ran Google, I would just send unsolicited offers for a three-month trial contract to people who fit the profile of a talented software engineer with a friendly personality and who recently started searching for jobs. Yes, I know, "that's why you don't run Google," but I don't think it's that crazy. For example, I may or may not be a good fit, but even if I am, the chances are slim that I'll ever have the confidence to apply.
