recommendation

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

'this does?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'mention comrade for new position' is the wordplay.
'for new position' is an anagram indicator (letters in new positions).
'mention'+'comrade'='mentioncomrade'
'mentioncomrade' is an anagram of 'RECOMMENDATION'.

'as' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for recommendation that I've seen before include "testimonial" , "Suggestion as to the best course of action" , "good word!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
