When I add a cron trigger to a job like so:

Scheduler.ScheduleJob(trigger);

it runs the job immediately rather than waiting for the scheduled time.

Is there a way to create triggers on a job that will only run at the time stipulated by the Cron expression and not before?

Thanks

Well, if the job fires immediately then that's what your cron expression indicates.

If you want to start it at a later date or time, you can set a start time for a trigger. See the documentation of the TriggerBuilder.

The Cron expression is
0 32 8 ? * MON-FRI

i.e Fire at 8.32am Mon-Fri

Job attached to this trigger always fires when the trigger is added.
It happen for each of the 110 jobs in my schedule regardless of the Cron expression(obviously each one is different)

set the startTime property to something that's not in the past.

The cron expression by itself is correct. How are you loading the job into the scheduler?
