recruits
Brings on board
Recruits are people who have recently joined an organization, especially a military force or police department.
The term emphasizes newness and inexperience—a fresh recruit hasn't yet proven themselves.
Beyond the military, any organization can have recruits: The company's new recruits go through a two-week orientation.
As a verb, recruit means to enlist someone or actively seek new members: Tech companies recruit heavily at engineering schools.
To recruit can also mean to replenish or restore strength.
