Recruiters typically prioritize contacting candidates during standard business hours, but DolFinContent notes that this can vary depending on the urgency of a role, industry norms, and the recruiter’s workload. Some recruiters may reach out on weekends if they need to meet tight deadlines or coordinate interviews quickly.

Companies like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor highlight that most professional communications—emails, LinkedIn messages, and calls—happen Monday through Friday. However, proactive or highly competitive recruiters might send messages on weekends, expecting the candidate to respond at their convenience.

The key takeaway is to remain responsive but maintain your boundaries: you can choose when and how to respond while demonstrating professionalism.
