Usage Note

Reclutamiento covers both voluntary recruitment (hiring) and compulsory conscription into the military. In a business context, reclutamiento de personal ('staff recruitment') is standard HR terminology. The agent noun is reclutador ('recruiter') and the verb is reclutar. Servicio militar obligatorio is the full phrase for compulsory military service, but reclutamiento suffices in context.

Examples

"El reclutamiento de voluntarios fue un éxito."
