Need suggestion: I submitted a job application for a in-house position posted by a recruiting agency on LinkedIn. Talked with the recruiter, she submitted my application to the company. Now both the recruiter and the staff from the company have contacted me to schedule an interview. It does not appear that they have been communicating with each other. Should I tell both of them that I have been contacted by both?

Cut out the recruiter

like

Coming from in-house your chances are better without an external recruiter. Up to you about how you feel about cutting the external recruiter out

like

Good to know. Thanks!

It's better to treat the situation like the company and the recruiter are aware of your progress so far. I highly doubt a recruiter would not follow up on their candidate submission especially if they would get compensation for the work they did. Also, it will help your conscious and preserve your integrity.

Who emailed you for the interview first?

like

The company contacted me for the first round interview. For this second round, the recruiter emailed me first telling me that they were coordinating the interview then the staff from the company called me to schedule…

Sounds like they have been in communication with each other to me, how else would the external recruiter know the company wants to set up an interview. It just looks like there may have been a miscommunication on who would reach to you regarding scheduling 🤷🏻‍♂️
