What remains governed.
These controls prevent a public service selection from becoming an unintended search, disclosure, submission, or commitment.
- Priority status and commercial terms require an approved written agreement.
- Priority execution does not guarantee a candidate, interview, offer, or hire.
- Material search changes are reviewed before the mandate is revised.
- Final hiring decisions remain human and employer-controlled.
