Correct Answer: Limited information about candidates
 


Solution : The correct answer is (a) Limited information about candidates

References typically involve contacting individuals who have worked closely with the candidate in previous roles, such as supervisors or colleagues, to gather insights and feedback about the candidate's performance, work ethic, skills, and other relevant characteristics. While references can provide some information about a candidate's past performance and attributes, the information obtained is often limited to the perspectives of a few individuals. It may not provide a comprehensive view of the candidate's abilities, potential, or fit for the specific role and organizational context.
