Are you going to call HR, a headhunter, or the hiring manager...

You should call, but what you ask will be different.

If you're calling the hiring manager, that's best, but you might not be able to get to them, depending on the organization. If you are calling them, you might send an email beforehand, reminding them how much you enjoyed interviewing with them and point out two or three bullet points on what they seemed to most like about you, and/or anything you've thought about since then that you can bring to the table for them.

Then call the next day.


If you're calling HR, you can get a sense of where the process is, but there's not that much you can do to move things forward in your favor. That doesn't mean you shouldn't ask if there's anything you can/should do.

As for a headhunter, they're a bit like HR in that they tend to give you canned responses, but at least they benefit from placing you, so they may be more forthcoming with things you can do to help yourself get hired. If you get a negative from them, you might still ask if there is anything you can do to make yourself more attractive next time an opportunity like this comes up.
