You enter the company, the person, the position, the period, the main duties and three calibrated assessments. The tool drafts a full or interim reference that follows the structure expected by article 330a of the Swiss Code of Obligations. The text is written live, translates into German in one click and downloads as a Word file ready for signature. The form is in French; the reference comes out in French and German. Drafting runs on a model hosted in Geneva, and nothing is stored on our servers. It is built for managers and HR leads of Swiss SMEs who have no lawyer at hand.

- Full or interim reference, your choice
- Calibrated assessments of quality, quantity and conduct
