I believe the answer is:
entreat
'appeal to' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'characters in jobcentre attractively' is the wordplay.
'characters in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'ENTREAT' is hidden within 'jobcentre attractively'.
(Other definitions for entreat that I've seen before include "Beg earnestly, plead with" , "Beg earnestly, appeal" , "Sue" , "Beg earnestly or emotionally" , "Beg earnestly, implore" .)
