Recruit like a Marketer: Why you need personas – and how you get there

Written by Nathan Jefferson | September 02, 2021

Why is it crucial to know your candidate personas?

The cost of a bad hire is subjective, but it’s claimed that with lost productivity and rising recruitment costs, a mid-level manager can cost a business around £142,000. Personas play an important part in understanding the type of people that will fit into your organization. How to do it? Involve the best people in your team who are naturally inquisitive; who understand the core values of your company, and who score high empathy. Sounds strange to you?
