Job references are a constantly controversial topic. And of course you on the one hand your full authorization, but nowhere is so much cheating.
There is no doubt that job references help employers and personnel Employees to be better assessed in Spe. This also applies to Executives, like our author Tanja Merkens in her article 6 tips for managers explained. On the other hand, nowhere is there so much cheating as with the job reference. So why not just get rid of them?
A study by the Personal Management Service (PMS) GmbH in Berlin, the 1100 references from employees of all Industries, professional and age groups in an anonymous form shows: Employers now award “very good” ratings three times as often as in 1994, in the same period the number of “satisfactory” ratings has halved. and the proportion of “good ratings” is also clear (by around 12%). “Sufficient” references are also much rarer today.
However, this does not necessarily mean that employees are performing better today than they were 15 years ago. The study also examined the credibility of the performance appraisal. In 137 certificates, for example, statements on specialist knowledge, performance aspects or the Behavior or these deviated significantly from the overall assessment. Formal deficiencies or the lack of a thank you formula also made the certificate appear less credible. Only 963 certificates without serious deviations were therefore statistically evaluated at all.
This shows that it is becoming more and more important to read "between the lines" in job references in order to be able to understand the actual performance assessment of a job applicant. However, this is precisely what is becoming increasingly difficult for employers and employees, because many people who are entrusted with creating references do not know the reference code sufficiently. professionals criticize also the pointless waste of time that goes along with the creation and assessment of job references.
Finding out enough information is also time-consuming and expensive – but necessary. Because clumsy or ambiguous statements can fast as a Criticism misunderstanding the worker's performance.
Conversely, many employers praise the green clover in references as a precaution - after all, they are in a legal dispute in the mandatory, the bad performances also to prove. Since around 30.000 lawsuits about allegedly untrue or false job references are brought before the German labor courts in Germany every year, this could be expensive.
Some personnel experts are therefore convinced that if the trend towards better and better references continues, it will ultimately only be a matter of time before these will become meaningful as proof of performance verlieren.
Instead of a work certificate there could be a neutral job description. This is exactly what personnel experts discuss.
Studies bring to light again and again how often work references are cheated. 10 tips on how HR recognize that.

[...] the result of the evaluation of the grades of the job references in these studies is that in almost 90% of the certificates [...]
Good day,
in the selection of candidates, the work certificate is (and remains) a (important) building block in addition to several other, Such as the curriculum vitae, the cover letter and the appearance in the interview.
Overall, it is certainly much more effort for medium-sized and smaller companies to create a work permit for the employee because simply and simply little knowledge is available about the correct production of a work certificate.
Therefore, the need for a good online certificate generator (e.g. at www.zeugnis-portal.de) is growing. Everyone who creates job references benefits here: maximum time savings, formal correctness of the certificate structure, sophisticated text modules with clear classification of grades, perfect spelling - and all of this is output in a Word document as continuous text.
No, the job reference will not degenerate into a simple job description. Ultimately, it is not only used as a component of the application, but is as popular as ever for the employee himself. To know how the former employer assesses us, how the boss assesses our performance in recent years, we “love” that, that is important to us!
Long live the work certificate!

Dieter Faber
Hello Mr. Faber,
thank you for the detailed note. I am inclined to the opinion that an automated workplace generator leads the system ad absurdum and thus leads to the loss of meaning: where is the individual assessment, if the refernz at the push of a button can be created?
