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?
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?
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.
