HR generally doesn't deal with non-working days' emails, so the resumes arrived during this time period, after two days of email accumulation, have been ranked very low on the list, and even buried in a pile of spam, which is hard to find on Monday. According to the China Talent Trend Report, the email reply rate on Saturday is lower than usual 16%.
In addition, the closer the delivery time is to the weekend mail, the lower the response rate. This is related to the schedule and mood of Otawa recruiters.
Professionals usually summarize and plan their work on Monday and Friday, and many meetings are also arranged on these two days. Two days before and after the weekend, HR in charge of recruitment spent less time reading resumes and felt more impetuous.
"HR will have a lot of trivial things to deal with on Monday, usually on Tuesday and Wednesday, and then start screening resumes and contacting candidates." Cai, the account manager of 100 quotation, said.
The data also shows that the reply rate of emails sent at the same time on Thursday is higher than that sent at 9: 00 am on Friday 10/2%. As for the best time to send resumes in a day, it is also best to choose during HR work, and the best effect is from 9 am to 1 1: 00, and it can be sent from 13: 30 to 15: 30 in the afternoon. The prime time for the interview is Tuesday morning 10: 30. When you receive an interview call, you must make reasonable use of the opportunity to choose the meeting time and try your best to ensure that both parties are in good condition.
Kate Parham, the author of Skills of Successful Speech, found that the best time to give a speech was around Tuesday morning 10: 30. "Considering the similarity between the speech and the interview, Tuesday morning is also a good time to attend the interview." Career expert Rasty Ruff says people are most productive on Tuesdays.
Besides, if we meet around 10: 30, the recruiter will have enough time to deal with emails and have a cup of coffee to get ready for your arrival.
Although everyone's best time is different, at least a few times can be avoided as far as possible: early morning, near work, around lunch, around holidays.
Don't be the first interviewer in the early hours of the morning. At this time, the interviewer may still be thinking about family chores and how to arrange the next day. Also, don't be the last person to make an appointment, especially before going to work on Friday.
At these times, the interviewer may be thinking about what to do after work, such as dinner planning and children's homework. There will be problems before and after lunch.
The interview time before lunch is often compressed. If the interviewer is hungry at this time, he is likely to be in a bad mood.
As for the appointment after lunch, it is easy for you to wait because the other person is difficult to be punctual; The day before or after the holiday is not an ideal time for an interview.
At this time, the interviewer is either in a state of holiday syndrome or busy with a lot of things at hand to make up for the vacancy in the holiday.
In addition to considering the interviewer, the identity of the job seeker is also important. Simon Broomer, managing director of Career Balance, a London-based career consulting service, advises job seekers to arrange interviews when they are in good shape, "because you are usually more alert, active and active at this time."
