Two letters of recommendation are required and it is preferred that at least one should come from a current employer. Letters of recommendation from co-workers, someone you have managed, relatives, or personal and family friends are inapplicable and can be detrimental to the evaluation of your application.
Please do not submit more than two letters, and if you decide not to receive a letter from your current supervisor, be sure to clarify why.

Tips for recommendation letters

Who can give a recommendation: You will have to provide details of one recommender who can be your reporting manager/ previous manager/ senior colleague/ current client/ previous client/ business partner/ supplier/ auditor etc.
It should not be a bunch of adjectives. The recommender should add specific instances/examples of your professional work together.
Academic recommendations ( from professors/teachers etc) are not valid
The recommender should send the recommendation from the official email id only. If the recommender does not have an official id – then a proof that you reported / or was supervised by this person should be attached.
Go by the nature of the assessment rather than the seniority of the designation
