Take on recruit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

employ

I believe this is a double definition.

'take on' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'recruit' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for employ that I've seen before include "Draw on" , "Engage or hire for work" , "Give work to (someone)" , "Hire; use" , "Give job to (someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
