Thanks for your help @Snowbird!
In addition to answering my question, the first post is also relevant to the discussion about Pausing Applications. The HO wrote:
I ask because the only time we have had anything less than a pile of wonderful applicants are the two times I paused the listing, then unpaused it when the initial applicants didn’t work out.
While I understand that this post was written before the Pausing Applications Test, I wonder if other HOs who have had their listings automatically paused by THS are now experiencing fewer applicants after a listing is unpaused.
