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

استقدام
to bring over


Explanation:
You could simply say: bringing over domestic help and other workers from overseas.

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.
