To play on the notion of induction into service, with a sense of inticement/allure.
The object of recruitment is clearly the clientele, drawn in by the hotel's "charms."

but in your case prostitutes most probably. The police is enrolling (crimping) prostitutes to work for them.

That's why it's the most recruiting hotel - everyone recruits everyone: KGB - prostitutes, prostitutes - KGB targerts, targets - CIA officers and so on :-). But the first recruited link is a prostitute.

recruiting anyone to grass on anyone
The place is notorious for recruiting activities there - FSB or police are recruiting prostitutes, pipms, petty criminals, drug addicts, i.e. whoever they could squeeze for information of any kind.
