[quote=Anonymous]I am unclear on how the recruiter is "using you". As pp mentioned already the details of jobs sourced to outside firms may not all be clear initially especially with large companies. Since you already met with the executive and they didn't call you about the opening they either forgot about you or don't think you are qualified/right for the position. In the first instance what do you have to lose by reminding them of your skills?  I would probably send a brief email rather than calling but that's me.   In the 2nd you aren't getting hired anyway. Honestly, it sounds more likely to me that the company is not interested in hiring you or they would have called you about the opening.

FWIW, fees are unlikely to be an issue. If the company had sourced you as a candidate on their own before they won't hesitate to work out the fee issue directly with the firm.

Final thought - call the recruiter back and ask if you have questions rather than listening to a bunch of hypothesizing on an anonymous board.
