Is it just one recruiter at Google or is it multiple people?
Are they actually Google staff or is it an external agency that is
just trying to find people who they can propose to Google and other
employers?

This is probably an intractable problem for a project that is
completely open
Many organisations vigorously protect their membership/employee lists
but Debian would not be Debian if it became one of those organisations.
Even if one major employer politely agreed not to do this, it is worth
remembering that there are gazillions of tiny little agencies out
there. Most operate at arm's length from the big employers, giving
themselves more latitude in their choice of tactics, to put it
politely. We would probably never be able to stop all of them
trawling through Debian membership/contact data.
