When this option is enabled, a placeholder account will temporarily hold the job so it appears as filled, but candidates will still receive the broadcast and can mark their interest. This gives you the flexibility to collect additional interested candidates and quickly reassign the shift if the placeholder is removed or if the job becomes available again. This documentation will guide you through enabling this setting and ensuring candidates can continue showing interest in filled shift jobs.
