A suggestion or proposal to hire somebody because of his or her professional capacity is known as a professional recommendation. Usually, these recommendations include testimonies of the recommended person's achievements. The term, letter of recommendation, refers to not only professional recommendations.

Delivering a lecture, serving on a board, publishing a book, writing an article, especially reviewed by peers or made in well-known settings and/or verified by a reputable source are examples of profession-related performances.
