  -> Thanks, Kathy. :P

agree  mstkwasa: As an alternative: "the recently recuited / recent recruits" // [Added] Thank you. I felt my suggestion was an extension on your contribution and your discussion with the asker - I think it would not warrant a separate entry.

  -> Thanks, mstkwasa. You should enter that (recent recruits) as an answer. It's good.// Actually, the term is 若い年次, so your suggestion is actually different from mine, even if we agree on the basic construction of the sentence.

neutral  Chizuko Heyer: I agree with the asker -- mstkwasa, you should post your take as an answer. I would definitely "agree" to "recent recruits". I think "young" can be confusing as it's not about their physical age.
