place candidates vs placing candidate

Both of these are correct, but are used in different contexts. 'Place candidates' is used when referring to the action of assigning candidates to a particular position or role. On the other hand, 'placing candidate' is used when describing the act of putting a single candidate in a specific location or situation.
