Background:
I had applied for a role in Feb/Mar and I was not shortlisted for the role. Agent confirmed that he had sent my CV to the client but they have chosen other candidates to interview.
Now:
There is contract role that has come up with the same client. Agent mentioned that it is the same client and for the same hiring manager. However, he refused to put me forward for the role saying if the client did not like your CV then will not like it now as well.
I have the contact details (email) of the hiring manager.
My question to the folks here is, now that I know the contact details and also know that the role exists, shall I approach the hiring manager direct? Many of you have been hiring managers, how would you take it if someone approaches you direct?
