I don't think "suitable person" is a great gloss.

Different dics give 成り/為り and 新解さん gives 為手, but that’s ambiguous and more often spelling for 仕手(して) so I’ve marked as [iK].

Can’t judge popularities of 成手 (mostly appears in unrelated compounds) or 為手 (since used for other word); they’re potentially confusing so I’ve placed them at the end.
  Comments:
Alt. spellings なり手、成り手 and 成手 (potentially confusing), 為手 (ambiguous with 仕手(して)).
