“Getting the job done”

Hi Strands fans. I was a bit confused by what today's puzzle could be about, until I connected LABOR on the left-hand side.
With WORKFORCE below it and PEOPLE to its right, it became clear that this was about HUMANRESOURCES - the spangram spreading from the top-left corner to the bottom right.
Two answers were left to find, both isolated in their own sections. STAFF was the last answer to find in the bottom half, which just left PERSONNEL to connect in the top-right corner to complete the puzzle.

Hi Strands fans. For some reason I struggled to get started today, and was kicking myself when the clue revealed the word SINGER spelt out down the left-hand side.
I immediately spotted the spangram above it, having used "belt" as one of my clue words. It was, of course, BELTITOUT.
Now I just needed to find synonyms for SINGER. VOCALIST was an obvious one to its left, which just left CROONER in the bottom-right corner to complete the section.
Two words remained in the top half. CHORISTER was on the left, with BALLADEER to its right to complete the puzzle.
