Can I contact the HM (who I know ‘reasonably’ well) directly to ask about the status? Is it against any confidentiality? Background, I interviewed with MS three weeks ago a Sr. PM role and did not hear back till last week (1/21), I followed up with recruiter and he responded last week saying he is getting the formal feedback but no response yet.
I’ve contacted the HM a few times when recruiting is slow and it’s seemed to always helped me and never prevented me from getting the job. Be gentle and don’t complain, just ask if they’ve heard anything because you haven’t been able to get an update from the recruiter.
