Laurie Ruettimann from PunkRockHR.com says no. The goal isn't to follow up with HR, but to figure out who the hiring manager is and follow up directly with them.

Laurie also points out one key point to remember no matter who you are following up with -- Stalkers don't get hired. Don't go overboard.
