In the current environment is it socially acceptable to follow up with the team you interviewed with directly if the external recruiter hasn’t gotten back to you and the interview went well?

I feel like following up is always an acceptable thing to do - provided you treat lightly and consider the circumstances.
No harm in asking if they are moving forward with hiring for the position or if they know what is going on with the firms internal hiring policies during this time.
Good luck

Thank you!

Absolutely! You’ve got nothing to lose.

I’m thinking are three possibilities: I didn’t get the job, its on pause or the recruiter themselves got laid off. I know you should usually communicate directly with the recruiter but does this change during a pandemic?

Yes and received a response from one of the two people I spoke w saying feel free to reach out w additional questions.

Hello folks,
Need some advice.

I am an Associate Project Manager with 1 yr of experience in Geospatial Industry. I'm looking for a switch and I am currently on my notice period.

I am finding it hard get interview calls as I have observed the experience needed for this role is more.

How should I proceed with such less experience as I'm not willing to continue in current company??

I am not actively applying to IT sector as I come from a non-technical background.

Appreciate your response!
