<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l3 level1 lfo6"><b>What if I open a posting now, but do not find any qualified candidates by the January 20<sup>th</sup> deadline?</b> The posting will be closed in UA Careers and reopened in the
new Talent system. There may be a delay in opening the posting in Talent, as HR will be busy during that time. If we transfer to Talent but you decide on an applicant who applied in UA Careers, that is fine. We will have access to all applicant information
in UA Careers until February 21<sup>st</sup>. <o:p></o:p></li><ul style="margin-top:0in" type="circle">
