Is it appropriate to email hiring managers or recruiters at their office email addresses if the contact info was obtained through an internal employee, even if that employee doesn't personally know them? I'm interested in reaching out about open roles and want to ensure I approach it professionally.

As a Manager I personally would be furious with an employee who handed out my work email address to a 3rd party without checking with me.
Get your friend to forward your email to them or email the person and request permission to share their email address.
In addition to that it’s worth knowing that managers at Amazon get hundreds of emails a day (there is a cc culture that fuels it). A random email from a strange address risks getting ignored.

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

Some recruiter in Accenture lined me up for an interview for a role which was not in my skillset ( by saying that this is just an evaluation exercise and they will map me to the right role) and obviously I got rejected. Now I see that I am not eligible to apply the role which I was targeting for the next 6 months. Any idea how can I get this escalated so that the recruiter ( Accenture employee) should at least be careful in future before fooling a noob like me?
