I got replies within an hour of applying, also had to chase some up. All of them asked when I would be able to attend, not that I HAD to attend within a certain time frame.

I would apply now, and if any contact you, get all their info and say you will be ready in however many weeks you need. If they ask why, just say you need to give notice at work or need to tie up personal stuff or move out of apt etc before heading out.

I would think applications have a start date on them. If you are unable to specify then tell the recruiter when they call. The ball is I your court, they (most companies) need you more than you need them.

The intelliapps didn't have start dates. On more than one occasion when speaking with the recruiter on the phone I gave a start date 2-3 weeks in advance. I wasn't asked why and it wasn't an issue. I wanted to delay the start date so I could could give other companies I applied to (about 12 in total) a chance to respond before committing to one.
