Chinese term or phrase: 招兵买马汇

This is all the context I have. Could it be "recruiting soldiers for Maimahui"? Is that a place or something else? TIA!

chica nueva: 招兵买马 = recruit men and buy horses - raise or enlarge an army; recruit followers (外研社汉英词典) 组织或扩充武装力量,也比喻组织或扩充人力(现代汉语词典)

-> Thanks a lot Lai An! You ran in more details, though the more difficult point here is 汇 to me :-)

agree

ttyang: This is a very interesting research. 汇 as a verb could mean "collect", "compile", "converge", or even "rally." Maybe "a collection of recruiting videos"?

-> Thanks, but since there is no more context, we can't add videos only by the reference I advised...Anyway the word collection you suggested is nice:-)

agree

orientalhorizon: "collection" may be better.

Collection of Recruiting Advertisements

Explanation:
It's a collection of recruiting advertisements. Each video segment shows a collection of job postings, and therefore "汇". You can check out a sample here: http://hot.ouou.com/html/0/cctop/sub_zbmm.html
