Dear [CANDIDATE NAME],

I came across your profile on [SITE/SOURCE], and I’m reaching out to see if you are open to discussing a Marketing position that I am recruiting for. Your background and qualifications closely match the role, and I would love to tell you more about our company and the position.
It's all right if you are not actively looking for something new at the moment, but if you’re open to hearing more, can we schedule a call some time this week? How about [DAY & TIME]? If not, please feel free to let me know what days/times work best for you.
Sincerely,
