Crossword Genius

Hiring gang, e.g., in broadcast (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

engaging

'hiring' is the definition.
('engage' can be a synonym of 'hire')

'gang e g in broadcast' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' indicates anagramming the letters (letters scattered or cast around).
'gang'+'e'+'g'+'in'='gangegin'
'gangegin' with letters rearranged gives 'ENGAGING'.

(Other definitions for engaging that I've seen before include "embarking on military action" , "holding fast" , "Appealing to others" , "Delightful; promising" , "Taking part" .)
