Crossword Genius

Most recent appointment gets the call (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

last post

'the call' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'most recent appointment' is the wordplay.
'most recent' becomes 'last' (I've seen this before).
'appointment' becomes 'post' (I've seen this before).
'last'+'post'='LAST POST'

'gets' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for last post that I've seen before include "Call for those retiring" , "notes we hear on Armistice Day" , "Bedtime bugle call" , "Evening collection" , "final delivery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
