Title: Hey HN - I timed how long it took me to go through the application process of 250 jobs. Some of my key findings:<p>- On average, it took a bit over two and a half minutes (162 seconds) to apply to a job.<p>- If company size doubles, the application time increases by 5%. If company size increases by a factor of 10, then the app time increases by 20%.<p>- Being a government company is the single largest determinant of a long application, followed closely by aerospace and consulting firms.<p>- The longest application time went to the United States Postal Service (10 minutes and 12 seconds).<p>- On the other hand, It took me just 17 seconds to apply to Renaissance Technologies.<p>- Older ATS like Workday and Taleo make job applications as much as 128% longer.
