I'd accept the strong possibility that I'm no longer being considered for the job and just move on. Calling the company direct as you suggested might give you some closure but I doubt it would result in you getting an offer


I’m sure I’m dead in the water but I need to be flat out told no before I give up on something.

I guess the question is would it be considered poor form to contact a prospective employer directly if you’ve been working through a recruiter?

HR departments take forever and if you interviewed during the holidays it could be stuck on a step where people were out of town. Contact the guys you interviewed with as a follow up and thanks for the opportunity. I suck at calling people back to tell them they didn’t get it but if the position is still open and I received an email like that I’d offer some words of encouragement and let them know the process is still ongoing

Not really since you've already had a phone conversation with the company. I wouldn't worry what the recruiter thinks since he won't return your calls anyway.

And if you're "dead in the water" with the company as you suspect then you can't hurt yourself by calling the company.

Don't be surprised if they won't take or return you calls either.
