description Selection and placement officers frequently have commented on the lack of value of the usual letters of recommendation and reference forms. Such letters are too frequently characterized by generalities and stereotyped phrases with little or no information useful in evaluating the applicant's fitness for the job. To meet the need for usable references on applicants for scientific and technical positions, arrangements were made to develop and validate an objective and scorable reference form. Three forms of objectively scored recommendation blanks were constructed and validated. Suitable scoring keys were constructed for each form. Most persons should be able to complete the recommendation form for an applicant in less than twenty minutes.
