Empfehlungsformulare

Empfehlungsformulare sind spezielle Dokumente, mit denen Empfehlungen, Referenzen oder Bewertungen zu den Fähigkeiten, dem Charakter oder der Leistung einer Person gesammelt und präsentiert werden können. Sie werden häufig bei Zulassungen zu akademischen Einrichtungen, Bewerbungen, Stipendienprogrammen und Berufszulassungen verwendet und vereinfachen die Sammlung strukturierter Rückmeldungen von Referenz- oder Empfehlungsgebern. In der Regel enthalten sie Felder für die Kontaktdaten des Empfehlungsgebers, die Beziehung zum Bewerber sowie detaillierte Bewertungen oder Benotungen zu bestimmten Kompetenzen. Durch die Standardisierung des Empfehlungsprozesses helfen diese Formulare Organisationen, fundierte Entscheidungen auf der Grundlage konsistenter und vergleichbarer Informationen zu treffen.
