Somewhere like Ornge is big enough that they may very well have a hiring planning day - a day where HR and Flight Ops gets together to go through the pilot resumes and pick out people to interview or offer jobs to. That's how we did it when I was last involved. There were three of us involved, and we'd each take a stack of resumes to go through at 0900. At 1100 we'd make our initial decisions and by 1300 the interview offers went out. At a busy time we would do that twice a month, but during lighter times (the peak seasons for an airline) we would only do it once a month. Unlucky was the pilot who applied to a position the day after we did one of these as it might be a full month before they heard anything other than the "we received your resume" that we would send out.
They did put a closing date on the ad, which made me believe they won't be touching any resume until that day to allow more people to apply (and I have no idea how many FO they are looking for (do you know if every hiring is 1 candidate or more? Or it's not even set up by recruiting and flight ops but rather management (as in they say how many they can afford to hire etc)
