Etymology

The word 'recruits' originated from the French word 'recrute', which means 'a levy' or 'reinforcements'. It was first used in the military context to refer to new soldiers or members being brought into service. Over time, the term expanded to also include new hires in various organizations and companies. The concept of recruiting has evolved to encompass not just military enlistment, but also talent acquisition and team building in different fields.
