I'd submit now. About a year ago I had a friend I was going to put in a rec for the day after he submitted. As I got home to write it he sent me a text saying he already got the assessment invite and just finished it. Interview offer came two days later.
Your first internal rec will trigger them to pull your file and score it. High enough score and you get the top tier.
