Here Are the Peak Times When Candidates Apply for Jobs


Simply placing an advert on your website and marketing it out via social media is not enough. Especially if you want to attract the very best applicants. Recruiters need to understand their audience and they need to know what the peak times are for publishing a job advert.

Fortunately, we’ve done that research for you. We've analysed data from over 150 recruitment agencies and we’ve determined the times that candidates are most likely to apply for jobs. We’ve determined what months are best, alongside what days are most effective.

If you want to increase engagement from candidates, download your free copy of our brand new whitepaper and become an ever more competitive recruiter. With the year drawing to a close, it’s importantBest_Times.png to start thinking ahead. Let’s aim for a very successful 2017 and let’s start now, by getting to grips with the peak times that candidates apply for jobs.

Your whitepaper covers:

  • The best month(s) for candidate engagement
  • The best day(s) for candidate engagement
  • An in-depth analysis of the peak times for applications on job adverts
