Tips for recommendation letters

Here are some pointers to follow before submitting the letter of recommendation.

Who can give a recommendation: Candidates will have to provide details of one recommender who was either a reporting manager/ previous manager/ senior colleague/ current client/ previous client/ business partner/ supplier/ auditor etc.

What to write: The letter should not be just filled with adjectives. The recommender should add specific instances/examples of the candidate’s professional work.

Who can write: Academic recommendations ( from professors/teachers etc) are not valid

Where to send: The recommender should send the recommendation from the official email id only. If the recommender does not have an official id – then proof that you reported / or was supervised by this person should be attached.

Lastly, it is advisable to go by the quality of the evaluation rather than the seniority of the designation.
