Every position I applied for in the past year only accepted online applications/resumes and you were required to put that information in. I would include the information in a cover letter or, if you have an objective, in the objective. (I know a lot of people are eliminating objectives these days).
I had my best responses when I selected specific companies that I wanted to work for and watched their individual web sites for postings that suited me. There were 4 or 5 companies that I really wanted to get into so I focused on those and checked them weekly, applying for anything that I thought I was qualified for which also sounded interesting. That's what worked for me.
Considering I originally interviewed in March and didn't start until June, I wouldn't worry about when you're available. Human Resources departments are notoriously slow. NOW would be the time to be looking for something to start in September.
