To answer your question a little more specifically, vacancies have to be awarded to those currently on property before they are are awarded to new hires. So new hires are always offered the non-awarded positions of a previous vacancy during BI. Exactly what of those leftovers is offered is up to crew resources. Now that you are on property, you can bid the current vacancy. If awarded it, you would move no later than the activation date. Most likely sooner, though.
