how long does it take for new vacancies to get posted online?

fitnessguy1

i am just curious how long do new vacancies take from being sent out via the agency/company to appearing on indeed.co.uk, totaljobs.com and other popular job search sites?

i was looking online earlier on indeed.co.uk and found that there were a small number of jobs with the same company, but one amount were posted in the morning, and the rest of the vacancies were posted about 30 mins ago.

i would have thought if they were with the same company then the company or agency repping them would have posted them all up at the same time. i often find a myriad of jobs will get posted in the evening, rather than in the afternoon or morning.

How long is a piece of string?

There is no requirement for a job to be posted online at all.

if I have a job vacancy (either internal or from a client) I can have it posted on upto 6 different job boards plus links for Facebook, Twitter and linkedIn within 10 minutes of getting the information, thanks to a handy bit of software we subscribe to.


It all depends who in the agency is responsible for posting the adverts, or how the client has provided the information. The client could have sent a really rough/basic job description through on email that has to be rewritten into a decent format, it went into someones junk mail, or the person who posts the jobs had a doctors appointment and didn't get round to posting it until 2pm, or they were just really busy.


Vacancies on the Jobcentre Online / Employers Online in Northern Ireland can take upto 24 hours to appear after we submit the information, as all vacancies are manually vetted by job centre staff before "going live".


Also with a number of jobsites there is the option to refresh the vacancy, by editing it a tiny little bit. once you save it, it appears at the top of the list as if it is a brand new post, and the timestamp is updated. Its common to do this for "peak times" when you think people are doing their job search. We might refresh the jobs in the evening so they appear at the top of the list when people are at home browsing the jobs after dinner. If we had posted that job in the morning, it might have got lost halfway down the list and very few people would have seen it.
