When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: Recruitment is " seeking and hiring", whereas استقدام entails bringing in already hired staff. There may be some overlap here, but the improting and bringing is more conducive to the physical movement of labor involved. What is the word usedd after u wen

It is a matter of analysing the lexical meaning of the word whether English or Arabic, it is the word picked and used by the concerned people. I worked for 15 years as a Press Translator in the Gulf area and this is word used before I went there .........

استقدام العمالة المنزلية لا يعني بالضرورة توظيفهم لذلك استخدامrecruitment لا يعبر عن المعنى العربي لأن recruitment تعني توظيف أو تعيين.

to bring over
Try the following Google search (include the quotes):
"bring over" foreign workers
Wordforword was close with "bringing in", but that has a somewhat different nuance.
