I tracked what time alerts hit my inbox from a bunch of different job boards.

Most surprising: 26% of my alerts arrived between 12am and 4am!

Overall findings (PDT)
Each job board has a different peak time and pattern.
Saturday was the busiest day (17% of alerts). Weekdays are similar to weekends.
Check twice a day. Morning covers overnight alerts, evening check covers the rest.
Does alert location impact send time? It's not clear. Glassdoor sends remote jobs at 10am AND 11pm.
