What's a business letter of recommendation?

A great resume alone isn't always enough. Candidates need to bring their interview A-game—and their skills and experience to life—to stand apart from other applicants. A letter of recommendation from a trusted former colleague can help prospective new supervisors see how someone would fit the position perfectly. This form will guide you through crafting a recommendation to give a candidate you care about a competitive edge.
