Sells you a dream job, sells the company a dream hire, ghosts both.
means Someone paid to find people for jobs (or jobs for people), working the gap between what companies say they want and what candidates hope they'll get.
from From French recruter, back to recrue, 'a fresh growth' or 'new levy of troops' — itself from recroître, 'to grow again' (re- 'again' + croître 'to grow,' from Latin crescere). The word started as military slang for rounding up new soldiers to replace the fallen; by the 1800s it had spread to filling any depleted ranks, and eventually settled into its modern office habitat — still, fittingly, about filling empty slots with fresh bodies.
