What is “U Recommend Me” after all ? read on …..

Welcome,

I am sure everyone is wondering about what U Recommend ME is? 

U Recommend Me is a very powerful site where you can give and receive in depth, meaningful and honest recommendations.  We all know that recommendations are a very key part of anyone’s professional and personal portfolio.  However, unless a recommendation provides real meaning and candid feedback most people don’t consider it valuable!

A recommendation should provide information about a person’s traits both personality and professional.  In our discussions with the hiring managers, university admissions offices and many professional organizations, one thing that gets repeated over and over is that the recommendation does not provide enough data into a person’s core characteristics to be considered valuable.  Thus more and more places are asking for detailed   recommendations from previous managers and professional contacts.  This creates a major challenge for recommendation providers as it takes valuable time to write the recommendations and often to do it multiple times What is more challenging is that recommendations are requested when quite a bit of time has elapsed between the two people and the recommendation provider feels a bit hesitant in providing an honest and real feedback. Instead, most often the recommendation contains generic and general content which lacks the depth and candor that a meaningful recommendation should have.     We believe that it is time that this problem gets solved.  We have spearheaded the development of a solution where anyone can provide and receive recommendations that provide in-depth view into someone’s characteristics. We also believe that the recommendations providers should be allowed to give recommendation that are honest even if they are not 100% glowing as in reality most admissions officers and employers are really looking for honest and detailed feedback on a potential candidate. We also believe that a recommendation receiver should be able to request a blind recommendation so that they know they are receiving candid feedback from those that know their candidate. Similarly recommendation givers should be able to keep a recommendation blind if they so choose and keep the person receiving the recommendation from viewing it so that they feel at ease in giving candid feedback our system allows for recommendations that are marked hidden by the recommendation provider to not be seen by the receiver.  We are very excited and proud to be launching a true recommendation management system that is first of its kind to bring the power of recommendation gathering, management and sharing with controls built-in to empower the users to interact in highly professional and meaningful way.

We would like to hear your feedback and comments as you use our system.
