I personally would not send a message to the director. If you sent an InMail to the recruiter, then you should wait for a response. If no response within a few days, then maybe think about sending the director a note. But don’t bombard all at once.

Hi xxx, I recently applied to a few roles at your company and would love to learn more about them. Do you have time for a quick call?

like

I want to send him a message, in hopes that I can set up a meeting with someone at the company, or move forward with the interview process somehow. What do I say? I feel like each way I phrase it either sounds stupid or gets to be too lengthy. Appreciate any help!

If the director looked a at your profile, I would just wait

Yes, agree with SC2. The director looking at your profile is most likely because the recruiter mentioned you to her/him. Probably scoped your profile to see how compatible your experiences are with their current needs. Hopefully your LinkedIn is up to date!

So I sent the recruiter a message like a week ago and I never heard back. I have a feeling I'm not going to hear back from her. She never took a look at my profile. I feel like this might be a chance to move forward and if I don't jump on it, they'll just forget about me. So you guys really think I'll be bombarding him and I just shouldn't send anything?

like

If it’s been a week, send the director an InMail. Worst that can happen is he/she ignores you and you move on.

Thanks all, I'll send him a quick note today. Thanks for thoughts

Quick follow up here from A1's advice-
Is it too direct to just plain ask the manager for a call? Just curious if I should phrase it 'if you'd have the time for a quick call, I'd love to learn more about opportunities..'
Don't want to awkwardly force him to say yes or ignore me. I tend to be in the timid side though so may just be over thinking it. Don't want to be passive and overlooked either.

I'm feeling incredibly anxious and honestly depressed right now because of work.
