English term or phrase: enlisted
By the time of Joseph’s birth, the Pulitzers had been in Makó for
three generations. Their ancestors were among a migration of Jews from
Moravia in the 1700s, drawn by the promise of greater tolerance and a
better economic life in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Like many other
Moravians, they fit easily into a Germanic culture. Hungarian landowners,
eager for the services of merchants and tradesmen, enlisted .

Explanation:

This is more interpretation than translation. The Moravian migrants were merchants and traders, whilst Hungarian land owners produced food crops etc. from their lands.

The Hungarians should be happy to meet the Moravians that were able to market and distribute their agricultural products.
