Hear it in context

Notice where the phrase sounds natural.

The hospital is recruiting more nurses to work in its emergency department.

When I joined my company they were recruiting about twenty people at once, so the interview felt a bit rushed, to be honest.

Fix the pattern

One small grammar move makes it sound right.

Not: We're recruiting a new job in the sales team.

Say: We're recruiting someone for a new job in the sales team.

You recruit people, not jobs; the job is something you advertise or fill.
