Recruiter with a gift to watch (6,5)
I believe the answer is:
talent scout
'recruiter' is the definition.
(talent scout is a kind of recruiter)
'a gift to watch' is the wordplay.
'a gift' becomes 'talent' ('talent' can be a synonym of 'gift').
'to watch' becomes 'scout' ('scout' can be a synonym of 'watch'**).
'talent'+'scout'='TALENT SCOUT'
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for talent scout that I've seen before include "One looking for good new acts" , "Recruiting agent" , "I seek promise" , "One searching for skilled youngsters" , "Discoverer of stars" .)
