Attractive for hiring (8)
I believe the answer is:
engaging
This clue is a double definition.
'attractive' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)
'hiring' is the second definition.
('engage' can be a synonym of 'hire')
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for engaging that I've seen before include "coming into battle" , "lt's attractive" , "Appealing to others" , "Winsome" , "coming together" .)
