Placement Job Types or Categories help agencies better organize and manage long-term placement roles by clearly defining the nature of a position—such as full-time, part-time, temporary, or roles requiring specialized certifications. By setting up custom job types, agencies can label and categorize positions more effectively, making it easier to sort, filter, and match jobs within the system. This streamlined structure enhances workflows and provides greater clarity for recruiters handling high-touch placements. 1.
