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

A number in mind

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.
