For online recruitment and the use of job boards, many recruiters rely on the response from their job ads in order to make good placements.
But as many candidates now have options of job boards as well as jobs to apply for, without any more time, it is ideal to determine what time is best for recruiters to post jobs online.
Conventional thinking has it that jobs should be published on Fridays so that candidates can view the jobs over the weekend and apply.
However, recent reports from online recruitment sites shows that the time when more applications are done online are Mondays and Tuesdays, especially when candidates come back home and remember how crap their current jobs are.
According to Dan at Broadbean,
the best time for applications builds up through Monday to a peak at Tuesday lunch time.
However, for some jobsites, if you post jobs on a Monday, the chances are higher that your jobs will be at the top as the most recent and thus get more clicks and attract more applications.
Many recruitment agencies and recruiters are set in their ways, but it will be worth making changes in order to get the best out of your online recruitment advertising.
