Employment Recommendation Letters

Using a recommendation letter template doesn’t mean taking the easy way out. Starting with a professional template ensures you’re working with the right structure to give the candidate the best possible chance. This way, you can focus on highlighting the candidate’s attributes and your motivations.

Who can use these recommendation letter templates? Anyone, regardless of industry. You’ll find downloadable employment recommendation letter templates for specific jobs like nursing. We also offer a variety of generic professional templates that you can adapt.

Signing a recommendation letter is a formal seal and ups the professionalism of your recommendation. It also adds a personal touch—you’re recommending the candidate because you believe they are the right fit for the role after all.

You can easily sign a digital recommendation letter using an electronic signature software solution like Smallpdf’s eSign. Access the tool straight from our editor after you’ve chosen a template. You can then create your signature and e-sign the letter in minutes.

Our recommendation letter templates give you a structured professional base to get you started. You can personalize the recommendation letter with information and specific examples to put the candidate across in the best light. It’s easy to update a template, just choose the one you need from the library and download in Word format to edit.

You can do much more with our tools to further modify your document. Our Merge tool lets you combine multiple files together so you can attach supporting documents if you need. You can also compress the final letter to reduce its size and make it easier to share by email.
