This is according to data analysed by SmartRecruiters of 270,000+ jobs posted on its system since 2013. That’s a large enough number to become a representative example across the board.

This makes Tuesday a good day to apply for jobs. Because when you apply as soon as the job goes up, you have less competition than if you kept it to the end of the deadline. You are best applying for the job early to get into the recruiters mind.

 

The earlier to apply the better and Tuesday is when most jobs get posted, making it the perfect day to apply for jobs.
