Hello all, I received a LinkedIn inmail from a Google recruiter recently for early career SWE role. I haven't even applied for the role. She scheduled a 20 mins call with me. Does anyone know what to expect on this initial call? Is it gonna be technical? Thanks.

The initial call usually covers basic info like your history, I wouldn't worry about it too much. It's also a good opportunity to ask them a couple of questions which will take some of the pressure off you, at least while they're speaking!

Likely TVC role.

Temp, Vendor, Contractor. Googles hidden workforce.

I haven't heard of many Google recruiters reaching out on LinkedIn.

Each position gets hundreds of quality applications without them having to go out looking.

TVCs on the other hand, are usually recruited via cold out reach.
