Is it better to apply for jobs on a Monday morning or late at night? I tried both and got totally different results

So I spent two weeks trying this. First week I applied every Monday morning between 8-10am. Got 2 callbacks out of 15 apps. Second week I applied after midnight like 1-3am. 4 callbacks out of 12 apps. Maybe hiring managers check their email first thing in the morning and my late night apps are sitting on top? Or maybe its just random luck. Has anyone else noticed a pattern with timing?

Oh totally, I had the exact same thing happen! I applied around 2am for like 3 weeks straight and got way more replies than when I did it during normal hours. Maybe it’s because we’re catching them right as they start their day and our app is the first thing they see.
