Strong letters of recommendation (LORs) for your master's application should come from mid-level to senior managers or stakeholders who have directly supervised your work and can provide detailed insights into your skills, achievements, and leadership.

Choose referees who know your work well and can share specific examples of your contributions. Senior stakeholders are suitable only if they have worked closely with you.

LeapScholar can help you select the most effective referees and guide you on securing strong LORs.
