That's reassuring. I'm glad you got a response! I contacted the recruiter over a week ago and still no reply. I went ahead and contacted HR in hopes someone there can help me out. I hope that's the case for me, too, and I will hear back soon. Good luck to you!
When was your first interview with a recruiter? I had mine a month ago and still have not heard back about a panel interview. No luck getting ahold of the recruiter for status either.
