recruitments
- 1Plural of recruitment.
The army's spring and fall recruitments filled the ranks ahead of the campaign.
Successive recruitments expanded the nonprofit's volunteer base across the region.
Note
A plural that only makes sense where the process can be counted. Recruitment often names an ongoing activity, the work of finding staff or soldiers, so the plural points instead to separate drives or intakes: two recruitments a year. The same count applies in the specialist senses, where ecologists speak of new breeding adults joining a population and clinicians of reopening collapsed lung alveoli, each episode counted on its own.
