Nope. Not according to my understanding, and not according to dictionaries such as the Merriam-Webster: recruit verb re·cruit \ri-ˈkrüt\ : to find suitable people and get them to join a company, an organization, the armed forces, etc. : to form or build (a group, team, army, etc.) by getting people to join : to persuade (someone) to join you in some activity or to help you "Recruited" definitely means she was hired. She wasn't, she was only interviewed four times and not given a job offer each time. Check her resume: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cherylfillekes https://www.linkedin.com/in/cherylfillekes

Could you possibly be focusing on a less important facet of what this discussion should be about?

  It is important. The title implies that she was actually hired and let go 4 times - which doesn't make sense and would be a very awkward story. Being interviewed 4 times and passed on is a completely different story.

That is only a subset of current common widespread usage. For example, high school athletes who receive offers from more than one school are often said to have been recruited by all the schools. Some examples from Wikipedia articles: Magic Johnson: "Although Johnson was recruited by several top-ranked colleges such as Indiana and UCLA, he decided to play close to home". Fred VanFleet: "At Auburn High School in Rockford, Illinois, he was an All-State player who was mostly recruited by mid-major basketball programs". Marcus Dupree: "Dupree was heavily recruited by the major college football programs, and during the final month of the recruiting period, his high school coach, Joe Wood, answered more than 100 phone calls a day from colleges". Marcus Mariota: "He was recruited by Oregon, Hawaii, Memphis, Utah, Oregon State, Washington, Arizona, Notre Dame, UCLA and USC but was only offered a scholarship by Memphis and Oregon". Chris Taylor: "He was recruited to play college baseball by the University of Virginia and the College of William & Mary". I'm kind of surprised that dictionary has missed this. I'm even more surprised that other dictionaries I checked also missed this.
