How long should the finished letter be?
One page, 200-250 words. Recruiters spend under 30 seconds reading; brevity shows you respect their time.
Do I need the employee's approval before sending?
Always share a draft first. They can flag sensitive data and confirm the achievements you plan to quote.
Is it acceptable to email the letter instead of printing?
