Crossword Genius

Attractive for hiring (8)

Ross

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" .)
