The Referee Evaluation Form serves as a crucial tool in the Dutch employment ecosystem, designed to standardize and formalize the reference-checking process while ensuring compliance with both Dutch labor laws and EU data protection regulations. This document is typically used during recruitment processes, internal promotions, or professional certifications where third-party verification of an individual's capabilities and experience is required. The form includes structured sections for both objective assessment and subjective feedback, enabling referees to provide comprehensive evaluations while maintaining professional standards and legal compliance. It specifically addresses the requirements of the Dutch employment market, where reference checks are an important part of due diligence in hiring processes, and incorporates necessary GDPR considerations for handling personal data.
