What is Arbeitszeugnis - Employment Reference (Germany)?

A legally mandated German employment reference that must assess an employee's performance and conduct using a specific coded language system.

Why it matters in hiring

Arbeitszeugnis - Employment Reference (Germany) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
