    Jobserve email alerts delay

    For some months now I've suspected that Jobserve email adverts were arriving later in the day than they used to, peaking in the evening now rather than morning. Judging by the date/time placed on some ads that I've looked at today, it does appear that there is anything from a couple of hours to half a dozen hours difference between the feed time and the time shown in the advert. Anyone else noticed the ads getting delayed more these days?

        I find it quite comforting - another potential gig waiting for me in the morning!

        Plus i think I still get the vibrate even with sound off (I know I can turn that off too but it's my only source of pleasure during the day).

          taken by people that are searching on-line instead of waiting hours for the email alert to arrive.

            I don't think the agent is sitting up at 3am waiting for you to reply immediately.

              Where I work right now, all permies have been given blackberries. They found a handy app which will read out your mail if you are driving or something. One person couldn't get it to turn off, I was so tempted to sign them up to receive "is your penis too small" spam.

                He probably submitted it in half a dozen hours earlier (the point of the thread).

                  My JobServe RSS feeds don't seem to be delayed at all.

                  Mind you, when people are offering £160/day for a developer gig in the City, I'm not sure they're worth checking
