A candidate persona is a semi-fictional representation of an ideal job candidate, created based on research and data about the desired skills, experiences, and characteristics for a specific role. This tool helps organizations tailor their recruitment strategies by understanding the demographics, behavior patterns, motivations, and goals of potential candidates. By developing a candidate persona, companies can optimize their recruitment marketing efforts to attract and engage individuals who are most likely to succeed in the role and align with the company culture.
