My team and I are exploring concepts for the next version of Before You Apply. We'd love your feedback.

If you are a hiring manager or recruiter, you'll be doing me a huge solid to chime in here. And please share this around if you want to go above and beyond!
Context: My team and I are exploring concepts for the next version of Before You Apply.
(Over the next few weeks I'm going to pose a series of questions that will help us prioritize our roadmap.)
Question: How much would you pay for an inbound message from a qualified senior software engineer who would like to talk about joining your company?
Please answer using this poll on LinkedIn.
Make these assumptions about the poll question:
A current member of your team has already expressed interest in working with this engineer.
Again, this is an inbound message directly from the engineer. The engineer has not been sourced by a recruiter.
If you hire this engineer, you won't pay a dime in recruiting fees. You're only paying for the initial inbound message.
Think about this as the cost of a lead. You can have more leads if you pay more money.
Thanks so much for your feedback. This is a huge help.
Feel free to reply if you have questions or insights.
P.S. If you’d pay more than $1000, what’s your number?
