Which is the Best Day to Post Your Job Ad?

Back in the day, Fridays used to be when companies would post jobs. Why? Because back then, newspaper is the go-to resource for jobseekers. Over the weekend, many people would buy newspaper so recruiters would post job advertisements for Friday and weekend issues.

But newspapers are no longer as popular as they used to be. Technology has become the driving force behind the influx of candidates in today’s tech-savvy recruitment world.

So, when is the best day?

Based on our data, job seekers are most active on Mondays. Do note the high amount of site visits on the weekends, primarily Sunday. Many job applicants spend the weekends searching for the jobs that may interest them, and prefer to apply for those jobs on Mondays.

Now let’s take a look on the job advertisement section. It appears that many employers prefer to post their job ads on weekdays even though those days are not as popular among job applicants. It’s also important to note that not many job employers post job ads on weekends even though there is a high volume of site views.

Why Saturday and Sunday are the best days

Based on behavioural data from popular job sites such as Maukerja.my, candidates spend more time on weekends looking for jobs with their mobile devices, after which they apply to those jobs on the weekday. So it would be wise to take advantage by posting job ads on the weekends.

If you think “Why should I post on weekends while Mondays have higher applications?”, you are correct. But you should also know that you are competing with other companies in posting job ads and this means that you are at risk of getting your job ad going unnoticed in the midst of many other job ads.

By posting on weekends, you will not only get a headstart in capturing the attention of job applicants, you'll also be taking advantage of having your job advertisement being on the front page of the sites on Mondays, thus increasing your chance of receiving more job applications.
