招收 (zhāoshōu, "recruit") combines 招 (zhāo, "call in") with 收 (shōu, "take in"), linking an invitation with formal acceptance into a group.
Usage tips
- The subject is often a company, school, team, or program, while the object is the people being added, so the word presents intake from the organization's side.
