    The Reference Tool

    Work references? Done in minutes.

    So simple it needs no explanation. Works for every industry and every role.

    Legally verified

    OR 330a, duty of goodwill — everything built in, nothing can go wrong.

    Data stored exclusively in Switzerland

    All data stays on Swiss servers — DSG-compliant.

    No personal data sent to AI

    Sensitive employee data is never sent to AI models.

    How it works

    From capturing to sending — all in one tool.

    The entire reference process runs end-to-end in one tool — from capturing to rating, signing and sending it to the employee. No email ping-pong, no Word drafts circulating, no media breaks.

    Step 1

    Capture

    Choose the reference type — work reference, interim reference, employment confirmation (e.g. for authorities), employment attestation, Arbeitszeugnis 2.0 or apprenticeship reference. Then select the employee: thanks to the personnel upload they are already in the system.

    Step 2

    Collect ratings

    Managers receive a personal, secure link (SSO) and rate directly in the browser — no account, no password, on any device. Multiple raters are possible, and HR can send it back for revision at any time.

    Step 3

    The text takes shape

    Introduction, rating sentences and closing formula are suggested automatically — in the chosen language (DE/EN/FR/IT), matching the employment and reference type, and editable by hand at any time.

    Step 4

    Sign & send

    Collect signatures digitally by link. The reference then goes straight from the tool to the employee — or download it as Word or PDF.
