reclutan

Reclutan is the third-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb reclutar. It means to recruit or enlist people to become members of an organization, program, or institution. The term is commonly used in contexts such as employment, the military, or academic or social studies recruitment, and it indicates that a group or authority is actively seeking and adding new members.

In addition to its use in sentences, reclutar has related noun and agent forms. The noun reclutamiento refers to the process of recruitment, i.e., the act of seeking, evaluating, and selecting candidates. A person or entity that performs recruitment is a reclutador, or, more generally, a recruitment firm or agency may be described as a empresa de reclutamiento. The verb conjugates across tenses (reclutaron, reclutarán, reclutaría, etc.), with recluta appearing as the third-person singular present form, as in “él recluta” or “ella recluta.”

Usage notes and nuances: reclutar emphasizes actively seeking and enrolling candidates, whereas contratar is more focused on the act of hiring once a candidate is found, and alistar or alistarse is often used in military contexts to denote enlistment. The term can appear in journalism, corporate HR communications, government notices, and academic writing when describing the act of attracting and integrating new participants or personnel.
