Locate stunt performed for lookout (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

talent scout

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lookout' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'locate stunt performed' is the wordplay.
'performed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'locate'+'stunt'='locatestunt'
'locatestunt' is an anagram of 'TALENT SCOUT'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for talent scout that I've seen before include "One searching for skilled youngsters" , "Discoverer of stars" , "Recruiting agent" , "someone to judge show of skill" , "One looking for good new acts" .)
