Document background
A Recommendation Letter For Work is a formal document used in the Dutch professional environment to provide potential employers with insights into a candidate's qualifications, work ethics, and professional achievements. The document must comply with Dutch privacy laws, particularly the GDPR (AVG in Netherlands), and should avoid discriminatory language as per the Dutch Equal Treatment Act. These letters are commonly requested during job applications, career transitions, or academic pursuits in the Netherlands. The letter should be detailed enough to provide meaningful insights while being concise and focused on relevant professional aspects. It typically includes information about the working relationship between the recommender and the candidate, specific achievements, skills assessment, and a professional evaluation of the candidate's potential. Understanding Dutch business culture, which values directness and honest feedback, is crucial when drafting this document.
