Will the next step be a writing assignment or an interview?

I applied for a role at an IO and connected with the hiring manager on LinkedIn. It has been about a month since I applied, but I have not heard back from them. I am quite confident I am well-suited for the role and tailored my application as well. Should I text and ask the hiring manager on LinkedIn about when candidates can hear back if they are selected for the next stage in the application process, or would that be unnecessary? I do not know this manager personally. I am just connected with them on LinkedIn.

There were 4 vacancies across 4 pillars has anyone heard back from one of it? how does the process work usually? doe the hr shortlist applicants for writing test and then forward the writing test to hiring manager or does the hiring manager makes that shortlist and hr just coordinates the logistics of writing test?
