Northwest Rafting Company, a Hood River outfitter running multi-day trips on Oregon and Idaho wilderness rivers, keeps its guide application open with no closed notice and describes a multi-step hiring path. Candidates download the river-guide job description and the employment application PDF, email the completed form to the office, book an informational call with the owner, then do a 30 to 40 minute phone or in-person interview followed by a meeting with a current or former guide near where they live. The company encourages prospective guides to join a trip the summer before they start. Pay, housing and specific certifications are covered in the PDF job description rather than on the web page, so check those before applying.
