Use, utilise (6)

I believe the answer is:

employ

This clue is a double definition.

'use' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'utilise' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for employ that I've seen before include "Engage or hire for work" , "Take on - recruit" , "Use or take on" , "Give job to (someone)" , "Use or give job to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
