means The process of finding, attracting, and persuading people to join an organization, often for a job.
from From French 'recrute,' meaning a fresh levy of soldiers, itself tied to 'recroître' — 're-' (again) plus 'croître' (to grow) — so literally a 'regrowth' of troops. The word marched into English in the 1600s through military use, describing the raising of new forces to replenish an army, before civilian life borrowed it to describe filling the ranks of offices rather than battalions.
