1. Don't call the company direct - it can appear unprofessional. 2. If the recruiter isn't staying in touch, find another recruiter and/or recruiting company. 3. If you just HAVE to use that recruiter - call the manager at the recruiting company. Maybe they don't work there anymore or are out sick (giving them the benefit of the doubt). If none of the above work you can try to find out what other staffing companies fill positions at that company and try to work with one of them. I would recommend heavily against calling the company direct. Chances are you signed a non-compete/non-disclosure agreement preventing you from applying with the company direct. Calling the company direct could be viewed as a violation of that agreement so tread carefully. I'm not one to wait too long for the recruiter to place me. Think of it this way - you don't have a job and they do. As long as they meet thier quota your getting placed isn't going to keep them up at night. However, your not working could mean another week of beans and weenies, or top ramen. Remember that there are plenty of staffing companies out there, when you find a good one stick with them, when you find a bad one warn others. :-) Good luck!

He doesn't return my calls or e-mails when I try to follow up with him on stuff. Anyway, one of the jobs he put me up for I really want and I know I am qualified to do, but I can't get a hold of him to find out the feedback on it, can I call the company direct? It has been 3 weeks since I spoke to him last, he kept asking for all of these things (references, letters of rec, etc..), then he disappeared. Any advice on how to handle this? Thanks
