Is there anyway to use SqlDependency to trigger the queue to process?

Sorry if this is patently impossible, HangFire is already doing pure magic, and I can’t say I really understand how it works behind the scenes.
As long as it takes 10 seconds to process a request, an API would have to offer 2 ways to call, something that blocks and returns after 0 to 10 seconds of work and doesn’t use a queue and something that doesn’t block, but the work isn’t going to be done for about 10 seconds.
Maybe there is a way to put something on the queue and then call the job processor to start working immediately?
Reducing the heartbeat (or what ever is driving the 10 second latency) to a smaller value seems like a waste of electricity (if say the job queue was checked every 250ms)
