The State of Oregon is in need of skilled workers and is exploring new ways to help workers apply for state jobs.  For years, the state’s application process has remained unchanged despite significant changes in technology and Oregon’s workforce.  The State Recruitment Improvement Project (SRIP)  has been launched with the vision (pdf) of opening the door to previously under utilized labor markets and easing prospective workers’ links to the state.  Using the Oregon Employment Department’s award winning iMatchSkills® program as its base, the SRIP will examine its capabilities to meet the needs of state agencies.  This is a project that has the support of key state agencies and DAS is committed to its success.  We see the result as a critical element in the state of Oregon’s desire to attract the best and the brightest to state service.
