Consult a test, confused -- we're looking for those with ability (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
talent scouts
'we're looking for those with ability' is the definition.
(talent scouts look for talented people)
'consult a test confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' is an anagram indicator.
'consult'+'a'+'test'='consultatest'
'consultatest' anagrammed gives 'TALENT SCOUTS'.
