Letter of Reference – Susie Simmons
Jeffrey Smith – President
Electro-Spec, Inc.
1800 Commerce Parkway
Franklin, IN 46131
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is in reference to Susie Simmons, who I had the pleasure of working and dealing with for over two
years. Susie was our Human Resource Manager and in charge of building up and implementing a new
position for the company back in 2014. Unfortunately, due to a major reorganization within our management
group, we reluctantly had to eliminate/consolidate the HR Manager position and could not continue Susie’s
employment.
Susie brought a wealth of knowledge and experience to our company and an even more impressive work
ethic. No matter the degree or size of our issues or the depth of our projects, Susie was routinely involved,
very responsive and always got the job done.
Susie had an integral part in not only helping grow our business, but helping us develop a number of new HR
initiatives that focused on training and coaching. Susie was also responsible with providing a new Employee
Assistance Program for our company through a partnership with Franciscan St. Francis Health, which
provides counseling services for a variety of issues. Susie was in charge of payroll, conflict resolution,
coaching, maintaining time/attendance/vacation records, employee files, training, counseling, recruiting, new
hire orientations, contractual service accounts, handling all worker’s compensation issues and claims and
OSHA documentation and recordkeeping for our Director of Environmental & Safety. Her ability to
communicate effectively and in a professional manner was an integral part of her ability to manage all types of
HR related issues inside and outside the company.
More importantly than what Susie has done professionally for our company, is what she has done for us
personally. Susie has endeared herself to all of our employees. Susie took a very personal interest in each
employee and went out of her way to help many people who had difficult issues or situations. Susie knows
how to treat people and will do whatever it takes to get the job done. I believe should you be so fortunate to
hire Susie, she would make an excellent manager or team member at your company and be a tremendous
asset. I certainly welcome any additional questions that you may have and can be reached at the address and
numbers listed below.
Sincerely,
Jeff Smith
President
