Document background
The Letter of Recommendation of Employee is a crucial document in the Dutch professional landscape, serving as a formal endorsement of an employee's capabilities and character. This document type is commonly requested during job applications, academic applications, or professional advancement opportunities. Written under Dutch jurisdiction, it must comply with specific legal requirements, including the GDPR/AVG privacy regulations and employment laws. The letter should provide an honest, objective assessment of the employee's performance, skills, and potential, while avoiding discriminatory language or unauthorized personal information disclosure. It typically comes from a direct supervisor or employer who has firsthand knowledge of the employee's work and can speak authoritatively about their professional qualities and achievements.
