The Oregon Department of Administrative Services manages state HR, with classified positions listed on the Oregon Careers portal.

Oregon state classified employment is administered by the Chief Human Resources Office (CHRO) within the Department of Administrative Services. Merit-based selection uses written exams, structured interviews, or scored applications depending on the classification.

Job postings and application information are available through the Oregon Careers portal. Each announcement specifies the selection method and preparation resources.
