Stick for the personnel (5)
I believe the answer is:
staff
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'stick' is the first definition.
(staff is a kind of stick)
'personnel' is the second definition.
(staff is a kind of personnel)
'for the' is the link.
(Other definitions for staff that I've seen before include "Administrative personnel" , "Rod; workers" , "Employees; sign of office" , "something orchestra member may look at" , "crook" .)
