Best practices for this request

Accurate recipient assignment, limited data collection, preserved audit evidence, and documented electronic consent make this public health reference workflow easier to review.

Verify recipients before sending

Confirm the applicant’s name, position, and reference recipients before sending. Match every field to the correct signer so a reference does not complete information intended for the applicant or hiring team.

Minimize sensitive information

Limit the request to information needed for the public health hiring review. Avoid placing unnecessary health information, Social Security numbers, or unrelated personal details in the document.

Preserve the audit trail

Export the completed document and audit trail after all assigned parties finish. Store both together in an access-controlled repository with a retention period approved by the organization.

Document electronic consent

For consumer-facing electronic records, provide the ESIGN disclosure and confirm the signer can access and reproduce the electronic document before requesting consent and signature.

When electronic references are admissible

A signed reference request can support a U.S. business record when the signer demonstrates intent, consents to electronic records, can be attributed, and the record remains reproducible under ESIGN and applicable state law. Wills, codicils, testamentary trusts, court orders, and official court filings are excluded under 15 U.S.C. §7003.
