Just 3 steps to your reference letter – easy, fast, and mobile-friendly

Creating qualified reference letters involves time and effort

The issuance of reference letters presents an increasingly significant challenge for companies and their HR departments. Regardless of the duration of employment with the company, every employee has a right to a qualified reference letter. References must be truthful but should not unjustifiably hinder the individual’s professional advancement in the job market. Over time, a “language of references” has developed, which must be adhered to by all parties involved in the reference creation process. As inadequate wording and incomplete job descriptions can lead to disputes, an increasing number of employees are taking action. To avoid errors and unintended conflicts, we have been working closely with Prof. Dr. Weuster for years, who has developed and published a legally secure evaluation and text module system.

At the same time, employees expect a quick and personalized completion of their reference letter. Companies manage this balancing act between process speed and process security through the use of our SAP-integrated add-on solution, the Reference Letter Creator.

Clear responsibilities and regulated, transparent processes

The scdsoft Reference Letter Creator supports the entire certificate creation process: from the application by the employee (ESS), through the evaluation by the manager (MSS), to the final correction of the certificate document by the HR department. All parties involved are guided through the process, and the access authorization allows insight into the current status of the certificate at any time. The document is finalized with MS Word and automatically produced with the stored corporate design. The inclusion of e-signatures is also possible.
