Creating a work reference — the four-step process

Four steps. 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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
