Thoughts on emailing a recruiter back on a Sunday?

+1 for scheduled sending Monday morning. I'd do it sometime after 10 AM when it's likely the recruiter will have already sifted through their inbox.

I don't think there's anything wrong with writing back on a Sunday in terms of etiquette. But in practical terms, it may be a bad idea. Unless you think perhaps they're the kind of person who checks their work email on Sunday night. If they don't seem that fixated, wait until lunchtime on Monday. Your email won't get lost in all the Monday morning junk in their mailbox.

I would respond on a Sunday. I wouldn't send out an initial email on a Sunday

If you can, schedule send it for Monday morning so it’s not buried deep in their inbox when they log on tomorrow.

I don’t think it’s a big deal as long as you’re not expecting an immediate response! I’ve emailed recruiters on weekends before, and some have even gotten back to me, so I say go for it if you're feeling up to it. Just keep in mind they may not reply until the workweek starts!

You don't want your email buried under all the other weekend emails. I'd wait until Monday morning so that it's on the top when the recruiter starts checking.

Am I being paid competitively? I have been the Onboarding Sup for my HR dept for over a year now and I’m being paid the state min for salary, which for CA is 62,400. I have not gotten a merit raise since the last 2 January’s, the state raises the threshold for salary folks. My company says that was my raise. Is this right? I bring a background from the clinical operations of my company, scheduling, field work, and what the average employee faces. I want to look else where but I’m not sure.
