A Reference Letters Generator lets HR departments generate customized employee references efficiently.
The modular logic behind the application enables fast generation of reference letters that comply with legal requirements and internal policies. The tool allows HR departments to request information from an employee’s former supervisor which is then embedded in the reference letter and returned to the supervisor for approval. Via a DocuSign integration, the reference is sent to the authorized signatory and a signed copy is sent to the employee’s inbox.
Background
HR departments have to manually draft a high volume of customized reference letters and this takes up time that could be spent on value added work. In order to comply with strict country specific legal requirements, HR departments need to ensure that reference letters contain specific information based on the place of work and employment type. While the general structure and content is often predefined by the legal departments, the overall process starting with obtaining an assessment of the employee’s performance and re-writing the assessment to make it legally compliant, is not automated.
With BRYTER no-code app builder, companies can build an application which uses pre-defined clauses and templates to serve as building blocks for the generation of a compliant reference letter. The HR user is guided through an interactive questionnaire and starts with requesting information from an employee’s former supervisor. This information is then embedded in the reference letter using pre-approved building blocks and returned to the supervisor for approval. Via a DocuSign integration, the reference letter is sent to the authorized internal signatory and a signed version is shared with the employee via email. The final output delivered by our HR automaton tool is a highly customized legally compliant document that reflects the individual performance of the employee.
