Abstract:

Evaluation instruments that may comprise a standardized letter of recommendation (SLR) are generated for various types of entities (e.g., business, education institutions, government, etc.). These evaluation instruments include content that solicits feedback from an evaluator for evaluating an applicant for the entity. For example, the entity may be evaluating applicants for a specific need (e.g., employment, promotion, admission, etc.). An evaluation instrument is completed by one or more evaluators. Feedback provided by evaluators is analyzed, and one or more scores are generated for each applicant. A report including the one or more scores and other information for selecting an applicant is generated and transmitted to the entity. The report may be used by the entity to select an applicant.
