Document background
A Recommendation Letter For A Coworker is a professional document commonly used in the Netherlands to support job applications, career advancement, or academic pursuits. This document differs from a traditional reference letter from a supervisor as it provides a peer-level perspective on the recommendee's professional capabilities, interpersonal skills, and workplace contributions. Under Dutch law, particularly considering GDPR and privacy regulations, the letter must be written with the recommendee's consent and should contain factual, verifiable information. The document typically includes specific examples of collaboration, project work, and observed professional qualities, while avoiding discriminatory language as per Dutch equal treatment legislation. It serves as a valuable supporting document in professional contexts, particularly when peer perspectives are valued alongside managerial references.
