   give them a few days to coordinator multiple calendars, if that's what they need to do.

   This is typical. Most of these recruiters are trying to win the job fulfillment and don't actually work for the company. They flood the employer with resumes in hopes to win the job placement.

   90% the ghost you because the employer won't pay the recruiter. The employers attract plenty of candidates on their own.

   How long has it been?

   As long as enough time as passed (you didn't just reply to her yesterday) yes, I would recommend you follow up. Things get overlooked or folks just get busy.

   This literally just happened to me Tuesday = I missed the email the candidate sent me with his availability. I was very happy that he followed up.

   If it’s been a couple of days and you haven’t heard anything, I would send a polite email saying something along the lines of “I am excited about the position, I just wanted to follow up and see if we can find a time to meet.” Good luck!

   Was this a recruiter that worked in a company or an external employment agency? Was it for a job you applied for? Be careful, as there are several scams for personal information going on right now, so unless you know about the company and have already applied for the job, let it go. If you did apply for a job there, a reminder after two to three days would be a good idea.

   Wait 3 days, then resend the email. If you can do it with a send receipt that is best.

   How long has it been since you emailed her your availability?

   Don’t follow up. Move on. If they wanted to contact you then they would.

   I have had 3 recruiters reach out to me and ask for my availability. Once I responded, I never heard back. I don't understand why or the purpose of them even reaching out if they had no intention of responding.

   Move on. I know it is frustrating especially when you are looking for a new role. However, no need in wasting time.

    Email back. It’s likely your email was buried in their inbox. If you are truly interested, there is no harm in following up and either the recruiter will appreciate the reminder or they are moving quickly and have moved forward with another candidate. Either way there is no harm with following up if you are interested in hearing more about the job

    Recruiters are a waste of time in my opinion.
    I’ve gotten better results when I take my care search in my own hands.

    Yes - you should reach back out to the recruiter. It is appropriate to reach out to anyone you are expecting to hear from - whether it is after an interview and you haven't heard anything back - I usually wait 2 weeks, but always send an email asking for an update. I keep it short and sweet - but it is professional courtesy for people involved in the hiring process to keep an applicant updated if they have been contacted by an individual involved in the hiring process.

    Be sure to check spam and trash

    Are you past the dates you set yet ?

    I would let at least one pass

    Then write back asking if any of the dates were okay.... Or did she need more as you were still interested in the job

    I am a bit late to this, but I think it's fine to follow up if it's been 2-3 days.
