   1 flagged finding: an anonymous unverified quote attributed to an unverifiable 'Hiring Manager, discussing reference calls.'

   Before

   "I have had reference calls where the reference clearly did not know the candidate was applying for a role at this company, did not know what I was going to ask about, and struggled to recall specific examples. That weakens the recommendation significantly, even when the person clearly thinks well of the candidate. Preparation matters." - Hiring Manager, discussing reference calls

   After

   Reference calls where the reference clearly did not know the candidate was applying for a role at this company, did not know what questions would be asked, and struggled to recall specific examples tend to weaken the recommendation significantly, even when the person clearly thinks well of the candidate. Preparation matters.

   Why: De-attributed the unverified 'Hiring Manager' quote about reference calls to unattributed prose, preserving the underlying claim.
