Hires someone who is promising? (7)
I believe the answer is:
engages
'hires' is the definition.
('engage' can be a synonym of 'hire')
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for engages that I've seen before include "Employs, hires" , "books" .)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
