intakers
People who admit
Intakers are people who take things in—those who receive, admit, or process incoming items or individuals.
The word appears most often in institutional contexts: social workers who conduct initial interviews with new clients, staff who process admissions, or workers who receive goods at a facility.
The intakers at the shelter screen new arrivals for immediate needs.
