Hi everybody.In short,"who" can only be used to make a subject question.As an example,who are they? But about "whom" can only be used to make an object question.For example,whom did you call yesterday?
We use "whom" to ask about the person who you call.
Thank you for your cares

For whom are you waiting for is correct because "whom", one of its usage is to replace an object.
