   1 flagged finding: an anonymous unverified quote attributed to an unverifiable 'Engineering Manager, B2B software company.'

   Before

   "I can tell within two minutes whether a candidate has done real research or just skimmed the website. The research is not just about knowing facts, it is about whether the candidate has genuinely engaged with what we do and has formed opinions about it. That quality of engagement is what I want on the team." - Engineering Manager, B2B software company

   After

   Experienced interviewers can often tell within a couple of minutes whether a candidate has done real research or just skimmed the website. The research is not just about knowing facts, it is about whether the candidate has genuinely engaged with what the company does and has formed opinions about it. That quality of engagement is often what hiring teams want on the team.

   Why: De-attributed the unverified 'Engineering Manager, B2B software company' quote to unattributed prose, preserving the underlying claim.
