Recruitment agent seeking school principal? (10)
I believe the answer is:
headhunter
'recruitment agent' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'school principal?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'principal?' could be 'head' (synonyms) and 'head' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'hunter' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'seeking' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for headhunter that I've seen before include "One recruiting staff from a rival company" , "One searching for good job applicants" , "savage job?" , "Recruitment consultant" , "Recruiting agent" .)
