They recruit young man for a women's magazine (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
the lady
'a women's magazine' is the definition.
'they recruit young man' is the wordplay.
'recruit' is an insertion indicator (in the sense of bringing in).
'young man' becomes 'lad' (I've seen this before).
'they' placed around 'lad' is 'THE LADY'.
'for' is the link.
(Another definition for the lady that I've seen is " Magazine".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
