Giving positive recommendations to an ex staff.

[Kross]

Some ex staff come back to the organizations they had previously worked for to get recommendations.

What would influence you giving such a staff a positive or negative recommendation? Or would you just give a positive recommendations regardless of any other thing?

Even if the staff had left my business stranded, I would put in a positive recommendation for him or her.

Am going to be honest, if they did well while they worked for me, then I will give them a positive review because I would want someone else to be honest in their reviews when I want to hire a new staff.

Would you actually give a negative review that would cause the staff to lose the opportunity if they were bad to you?

My conscience won't let me though if am being honest, but in this case I might choose to overlook their bad sides and just state the good sides. But in a situation where they don't have a single good trait? I don't think the person would even have the boldness to come to me for a review.

I wouldn't be biased I would give to the person a recommendation thsy suits the person which would be based on the person previous attitude to work

I am not mandated to give a positive recommendation to a staff that didn't act or behave well. I might not condemn him or her in the recommendation. But I certainly won't commend him.

I will be honest when I write a reference letter for an ex-staff. I think this is important as prospective employers need the information to evaluate candidates.
