Call up the recruiter a day after sending the CV. A lot of recruiters aren't that good at following-up, despite that being a basic part of the role.

Add their WhatsApp/Facebook, or if in APAC their WeChat. Send a polite follow-up.

If you don't know their name, like a generic group email or web application, trawl LinkedIn and click on contact details for relevant people.

When you get in contact with the recruiter, they will tell you the company name if they're decent. After they've had a follow-up call about you they should tell you the hiring person's name, so you can look them up yourself.

Dig, dig, dig.
