Robot Training Job Posting Times and Apply Peaks

How it was measured

The posting date and time shown for each new listing on robot training employers' public job boards (read daily), plus apply clicks on RobotTraining.jobs, tallied only by weekday and hour. A single database query produces each figure for the window shown, and the live page and every monthly edition run that identical query. The note under each figure gives its base.

Posting time

The timestamp a job board attaches to a new listing, converted to UTC. Listings dated outside the window are ignored.

New listing

A role seen for the first time during the window, at an employer this site was already following the week before. Whatever an employer has up in its first tracked week is back catalogue and does not count as new.

Posting stamp

What a board actually puts in its posting field, judged from its own new listings: a full date and time; a bare date (90% or more fall at exactly midnight UTC, so it counts toward weekdays but not hours); this site's own read time (half or more within 10 minutes of first sighting, excluded); a time after this site first saw the role (a quarter or more over an hour later, meaning an edit time, excluded); or no date at all (excluded).

Share of an average week

Postings per occurrence of a weekday in the window, divided by that rate added up across all seven days. This keeps a month that happens to contain five of some weekday from leaning toward it.

Weekend

Saturday plus Sunday, UTC. With postings spread evenly across the week, 28.6% would land on those two days.

Lag to the feed

Hours between a board's posting time and this site's first sighting of the role in the public feed. Because feeds are read roughly daily, as much as a day of that gap is just waiting for the next read.

Apply click

A press of an apply button on RobotTraining.jobs that leads to an employer's application page, whether for one role or for an employer's general sign-up link. Bot traffic is filtered out when it is logged. Counted across the whole site, never per employer.

Window

Live page: the 28 most recent full days (UTC). Edition: a single calendar month (UTC).

Limits of this data

• Click timing reflects where RobotTraining.jobs visitors are and when they browse. All days and hours are in UTC, so a peak marks when this audience is active, not when the wider market applies.
• Posting times come straight from the job boards. A board that gives only a date may use its local date; boards with no date, or with a date after the role first appeared, are excluded, and each figure lists them.
• The biggest boards weigh most in the hourly figures, and roles often go up in batches (one per city), so a handful of batches can make a single hour spike.
• Hiring that happens without a public job board is not captured.
• A click only opens an application; it says nothing about submission or hiring, and roles shown higher get more clicks.

Collection and classification of listings are explained on the methodology page. Freshness, completeness and consistency are tested daily in the data quality report.

Monthly editions

The live page spans the 28 most recent full days and updates daily. Every finished month also gets its own edition, locked two days after month end, so a number quoted from it stays fixed.
