Dear Hiring Manager,
I am writing to recommend Herbert Gilliland for a position in your organization. I
currently work with Herb in my role as Director of Operations at PieceMaker
Technologies, Inc. I have served in this position since March 2016.
Herb leads the entire software development and management team at PieceMaker. I
have directly observed him working with fellow staff members. I have also
observed him interacting with all company personnel in strategy and planning
meetings.
Based on my observations, Herb is an extremely talented software designer and
engineer. He has been the true leader of a talented core team at PieceMaker that has
developed the company’s most valuable asset – a software platform that allows
retail customers to customize and produce 3D printed items in 20 minutes or less.
This is a remarkable technical achievement that could not have been realized
without Herb’s creativity and talent.
Herb is also an inspiring leader who gets the most out of those who work with him.
He inspires both creativity and deep loyalty, lifting the spirits of the entire
workplace. In addition, he has outstanding business judgment. His assessments of
critical problems and challenges are invariably on point, and his proposed solutions
are pragmatic and feasible.
In summary, Herbert Gilliland is simply outstanding. I recommend him highly for a
position in your organization.
Please let me know if you need any additional information in this matter.
Sincerely,
David J. Herring
Director of Operations
PieceMaker
