Can we make changes to the recruitment once the Search Plan has been approved and published?
It depends. Changes can introduce fair hiring issues. For example, title code(s) are not editable by the department once the Search Plan is approved, although in the case of clerical error, a UC Recruit administrator can override the lock. If the search is configured for Review Dates and there are applicants, the IRD (Initial Review Date) cannot be changed, even by system administrators. Document requirements and references can be changed up until the first applicant applies, but then these lock down.
The inability to easily change items in a published Search Plan requires that reviewers of the Search Plan carefully consider its contents and may ask the department for corrections during the Approval process. Set up the open date of the recruitment with enough time to allow for approvers to review and offer feedback, and for the department to correct any issues reviewers find.
