Should I call the recruiter? I had an introductory phone call with a recruiter two weeks ago about a position. She did not get back to me about setting up an interview with the hiring manager and I emailed her a week later to follow up a couple days before Thanksgiving. no reply. I want to follow up with her now that we’re back from the holidays but I’m thinking calling her will probably be more successful in getting a response. is that too annoying? Or should I just follow up again via email?

Usually means the HM doesn’t want to interview you.
I get ghosted like this a lot. HR thinks you are suitable, but the actual HM doesn’t.

Doesn’t hurt to check in with the holidays, but it was likely an HM pass.

The HM likely decided to pass on interviewing you, but can't hurt to follow up with the recruiter

Don’t want to come off like I’m complaining but also don’t want this to be the reason I don’t move forward. Any advice appreciated…
