Finding new hires
Recruiting is the process of finding and attracting people to join an organization, typically for employment or military service.
Companies engage in recruiting when they have positions to fill, often through job postings, campus visits, or headhunters.
The tech industry's aggressive recruiting drives up salaries.
Military recruiting targets young adults through advertising and recruitment offices.
The term extends to sports, where college coaches spend considerable effort recruiting high school athletes.
