Regional HR ManagerManager

To Whom It May Concern, This letter of recommendation is being provided for Brenda Ruaya, HR Generalist. As a Human Resources Manager for over 5 years my expectations are for employees to exceed the standards of the job assignment; and to reward employees for that work through formal reviews and compensation increases. As a result, it is not customary to provide additional commendation to employees; however, in Ms. Ruaya’s case I feel compelled to make this exception. Ms. Ruaya has been under my management for over 3 years, and came to me under recommendation from a credible peer who recognized that her talents were not being utilized to their fullest potential. During my time with Ms. Ruaya she has been exposed to extreme work pressures in our office – but she has always called upon her strongest qualities of flexibility and dedication help make her succeed. Ms. Ruaya has excellent experience in performing personnel transactions and tracking data. Human resources rely heavily on the accuracy and availability of information. Ms. Ruaya has successfully maintained organization in a chaotic environment and has never failed to produce the proper and accurate data required by her leadership. Ms. Ruaya is a great asset to any team and is only available in the job market due to her current company operations in Dubai dissolving. Ms. Ruaya has no negative counselings or administrative actions on file and recently received a rating of Surpasses Expectations on her 2011 Annual Performance Evaluation. Ms. Ruaya is well on her way for advancement within the human resources field, and has the capability to fill positions higher than HR Generalist.
