Definition
招收 is a general verb for 'to recruit/hire' used for both employees and students (e.g., enrolling new students). It is broader than 招聘, which only covers job recruitment, and distinct from 录取, which is specifically 'to admit after selection' (e.g., university admissions). Compared to the single character 招, 招收 is more formal and explicit about the recruitment process.
