How long ago did you reach out? Given that many business have just returned from the holidays, perhaps the roles are on hold? That's been my experience. I would continue applying for roles and networking whilst you circle back with the previous recruiters.

You might want to remind them of who you are by including an updated resume and mention, in a cover letter some of the customers you work with in the past.

Are you only reaching out to agencies you've worked with before? Why are you limiting yourself?
