Document background
The Employer Requesting Reference Letter is a critical document used in Hong Kong's hiring process when an employer needs to verify a potential employee's work history and performance. This document type must comply with Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance and employment regulations while facilitating the collection of valuable candidate information. The letter typically includes employment verification requests, specific performance-related queries, and necessary privacy statements. It's particularly important in Hong Kong's business environment where reference checking is a standard part of due diligence in hiring. The document can be customized based on industry requirements and position seniority, while maintaining its core purpose of seeking professional references in a compliant manner.
