re: What to do after initial phone interview?

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?

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.
