Do you recommend reaching out and applying on your own if an outside recruiter told you about the opportunity but hasn’t gotten back to you in 2 weeks?

Because the agency is now posting on their social that they’re hiring and I don’t want to miss an opportunity, but it’s also my first time working with a recruiter and don’t know how much they would help or make a difference?

i was in a similar spot once. a recruiter asked if i’d be interested in working for a place, i said i was, and nothing ever came from it. they didn’t like my book or something. a few months later i asked the recruiter if i could reach out on my own. they said that i could but if it went anywhere to remind the agency that the recruiter connected us first. it never went anywhere lol
