0. INTRODUCTION
This specification provides the definition of the Job
application result message (JAPRES) to be used in Electronic
Data Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
administration, commerce and transport.
1. SCOPE
1.1 Functional Definition
A message specifying decisions of an employer related to job
applications and interviews and employment or rejections and,
when necessary, reasons for the decisions or rejections. The
message is transmitted from an employer or employment agency to
an employment agency.
1.2 Field of Application
The Job application result message may be used for both
national and international trade. It is based on universal
commercial practice and is not dependent on the type of
business or industry.
1.3 Principles
The intention of the message is to provide detailed information
of results or decisions of an employer related to a job
application or an interview. A Job Application Result Message
may contain detailed information of the employment of an
applicant, the rejection of an applicant by the employer or the
rejection of the offered job by the applicant. In case of the
rejection by the applicant, reasons of the rejection can be
given. A Job Application Result Message is transmitted from an
employer or employment agency to the employment agency. A Job
Application Result Message may contain detailed information of
more than one job applicant or interview.

4.1 Data Segment Clarification
This section should be read in conjunction with the Branching
Diagram and the Segment Table which indicate mandatory,
conditional and repeating requirements.
The following guidelines and principles apply to the whole
message and are intended to facilitate the understanding and
implementation of the message:
All specified dates and times should be in the format 'yymmdd'
or 'hhmm' unless all parties involved in the transaction agree
that there is a functional requirement for an alternative
format.
Periods should be specified as whole numbers representing the
required period as indicated in the format qualifier (weeks,
months, etc.)
Where a choice of code or text is given only the code element
should be used wherever possible.
Conditional data that is not required in the message should not
be included.
Care must be taken that the segment qualifier in dependent
segments do not conflict with the segment qualifier of the
trigger segment of a group.
