A mission undertaken by a CHERUB agent for the specific purpose of recruiting another agent. A single agent is typically sent to live in a children’s home for 4-6 weeks. Their job is to evaluate all the other children in the home, in the hope of finding suitable candidate for CHERUB.

These missions are essential, but they do not have the prestige of more glamorous missions that involve serious crime or terrorism. Quite often, a recruitment mission will be given to a cherub who has misbehaved on campus, or performed badly on another mission.
