OAR 839-017-0051: Definitions for Job Order and Job Referral Document Rules

(1) “Open” or “Standing” job orders are for categories of jobs for which an employer usually has two or more open positions at any one given time although on occasion the employer is merely interested in receiving applications and does not hire immediately all qualified applicants. In addition, these are types of positions for which an employer has a steady and continuous need of qualified employes. EXAMPLE: A job order from the central hiring office of a large bank to refer any qualified applicants the agency may have for teller openings that come up regularly and habitually. (2) An “Exploratory Interview” or “Exploratory Job Order” means a bona fide order for employment valid for one specific applicant only.
