Candidate Persona Canvas Template

A candidate persona is a representation of what the ideal candidate for a particular role at your company looks like.

Your candidate personas should be a healthy balance between the aspects of your company that a rock star candidate would be attracted to and the skills, personality, and background you're looking for in that candidate.

If you are just getting started, you don't need to create a candidate persona for every open position at your organization. Begin by focusing on the high priority ones right away. This includes those positions requiring high volume hiring or those hard-to-fill and niche positions.

This template is designed to help you paint a clearer picture of your ideal candidate so you can better attract and engage them to want to work for your organization.
