Hello! I recently applied for a Travel Procurement Senior Manager role at PwC (role is in NYC and I’m not NYC-based but I believe certain roles can be primarily remote). I have 5+ years of experience in this field and the description/company culture seem like a perfect match to what I’m looking for. Are there any fish from PwC and/or their talent acquisition team that can provide a reference post-submission and insight on the hiring process? Thanks!!

TBWA NY recruiter?
Do recruiters ever reply to any of these threads
Ok be honest, candidates. I really love this set of questions, I’ve been considering shifting my current interview style to these questions - I think they really give you an idea of who this person would be within the work setting. But the questions almost feel too deep for a recruiter to ask. What would you think if a recruiter took a different path and asked these questions instead of the usual ones?

Call the recruiter and ask if they have heard anything from the hiring manager for that job. If the recruiter says, "They haven't gotten back to me," tell him to please call to get an update. Your time is as valuable as theirs, and you need to know if there is a job offer pending or you need to push harder in another direction. Give the recruiter another week to do his job and serve his client (you). At that point, his feelings be hanged, call the hiring manager yourself. The recruiter may be upset that you leap-frogged him, but at some point you have to poo-poo or get off the potty (parent of a toddler).
Not a bad idea. In fact it could even work in your favor! It shows initiative and genuine interest in the role, which are qualities that hiring managers often appreciate. That being said, it's always a good idea to tread carefully and be respectful of the process. You don't want to come across as pushy or impatient, so keep your message polite and professional, and frame it as a simple inquiry about the status of your application.
