Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through

A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
