Okay so after I went through my exchange with the recruiter here is a small but important clarification.
I got a call from a recruiter hired by Alphabet and not Google. They are looking for people to join a new company. Already that new company has created quite a bit of buzz in my industry. They want people with experience (which I think I have) in that particular industry/discipline and hence the cold call via Linkedin profile information.
