Follow-up Regarding Phone Interview Scheduling

I applied to Optiver online 2 and a half weeks ago. I passed their math test around that time. I provided my availability (a list of dates and times) for the interview. No response so far as of today (9/25) about the phone interview.

A week after their email [this past Friday], I followed up, calling the recruiter (who did not pick up) and left a voicemail. What's my next option here? Wait?

No matter who I'm emailing, I usually start off my emails with: "Hi FirstName,". "Dear Mr./Ms...." seems way too formal, at least to me.

How would you want to be addressed? Remember, these people put their pants on one leg at a time, just like you and me.
