Is applying at early actually better than later? I tested it for 2 weeks
Ok so i kept hearing people say apply early bc recruiters are very responsive in the first few hours.
I decided to actually test it properly instead of just taking someone's word for it.
For 2 weeks i checked Tsenta and my alerts, applied to anything fresh within the first hour. then compared to my previous 2 weeks where i was applying at like 10pm after work.
Early response rate: 11.2 percent from 62 applications.
Later application ate: 3.1 percent from 58 applications.
Same resume, same types of roles, completely different outcomes.
I know it's not a controlled experiment but the difference is too big to ignore.
Has anyone else tested this or have a theory on why morning works so much better?
