Do my referees need to be my most recent three supervisors?

Modified on Mon, 15 Aug, 2022 at 12:04 PM

Where possible, yes.

The primary concern for recruiters when seeking references is that they should be as up-to-date as possible; the purpose of seeking a reference is to ensure your candidature is suitable for the specialty, rather than to influence the decision when deciding to whom posts should be offered.

Thus a reference from a 'good' or 'notable' referee will garner no advantage to your application.
