Kind engineers with references for personnel (5,9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

human resources

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'personnel' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'kind engineers with references' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'engineers' could be 'res' and 'res' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for human resources that I've seen is " department of a firm".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
