Is it wise to message the recruiter directly on LinkedIn? Wasn’t too sure if it was bad etiquette to do so.

I honestly don't think it would hurt a ton, especially if you give them time and don't message very often. I think if you've waited a week or waited as long as they told you it might take to hear a respose, you're well within your rights to message them

Ok thank you for the feedback!

Yeap, I've had some success there. I messaged a few recruiters who've posted about a position I was interested in, and they were quick to provide decent feedback. I would like the post and request to connect on LinkedIn introducing myself and saying I'm interested in the position they posted.

That’s good to hear that someone has had success!

OP I don't think there is anything wrong with messaging a recruiter directly on Linked in as I have done it myself. Sometimes you get a response and sometimes you don't but its definitely worth a shot, especially in this job market. Best of luck to you.

Ok cool that is what I was thinking. Thanks!

Red bell peppers are roasted in the oven until sweet. It is then blended with caramelized onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomato paste, and cream into a silky, smooth and velvety sauce. Finish the sauce with a knob of butter and coat your pasta. Cavatappi works well here. Don’t forget to shave a little Pecorino Romano
