Abstract
A website and method are disclosed for helping a recommender to provide confidential recommendations for individuals. The system enables the recommender to efficiently comply with multiple requests for confidential recommendations, and to efficiently comply with a single request for a confidential recommendation to be sent to multiple institutions. The system eliminates the need to write multiple confidential recommendations when the individual applies to multiple institutions by enabling the recommender to distribute multiple links to the same confidential recommendation. The system also enables the recommender to easily edit the recommendation before or after multiple links have been distributed, thereby ensuring that the recommender retains control over the content of the confidential recommendation. The control over the recommendation link also includes a capability for changing the link expiration date, temporarily suspending or re-activating a link, and deleting a link.
