Short and sweet, a candidate persona is a representation of what the ideal candidate looks like for a particular role within your organization. With our candidate persona canvas template, you’ll have the ability to create target candidate personas for those hard-to-fill, niche, or high volume positions you really need to focus on in 2018.

This template is designed to help you lay out all the touchpoints that could happen through the candidate’s journey, equipping you with information to fine-tune your processes and create a unique and personalized candidate experience.
