Recruitment system plays an essential role in Arknights where offers new Operator for you. The more Operators you acquires, the higher chances of winning you get. However, this system compared with other games is rather complicated, since it is divided into Recruit and Headhunt. Recruit takes time to obtain character, while Headhunt resembles gacha system. They respectively demands different materials to recruit Operator. Below, I will comprehensively introduce two parts, enabling you to have a quick understanding.
Recruit System Intro
At the beginning, you can merely start 2 Recruitment. You need to Upgrade HR Office to unlock 2 more slots. Set up time and tags to begin your Recruitment. By adjusting longer time span, you can get higher-rank Operators. If you are fortunate, you will acquire 5-star characters that only have 2% chances. Usually, you will get 3-star characters to expand your roster, making your gameplay experience greater, especially for beginner!
Recruit Materials
Recruitment Permit: Use 1 Recruitment Permit to start recruitment. You better change 9 hours to increase chances of obtaining 5-star character.

Headhunt System Analysis
Headhunt system consists of multiple types of banners that possess unique gacha mechanics. I will analyse everything about Headhunt System, including required materials, banner mechanics, types of banner and best gacha tips. As you better understand Headhunt System, you can plan your gacha more reasonable.
Headhunt Materials
Headhunting Materials comprise Originum, Orudum, (Kernel) Headhunting Permit, Ten-roll (Kernel) Headhunting Permit.
Originum (Yellow): Used to exchange Orundum to gacha.
Orundum (Red): Cannot be used to exchange Originum. Each headhunting recruitment costs 600 Orundum. This rule works in all banners.
(Kernel) Headhunting Permit: It is equal to 600 Qrundum that performs single pull. (Kernel means it's only used on Kernel banners.)
Ten-roll (Kernel) Headhunting Permit: It is equal to 600 Qrundum that performs ten pulls. (Kernel means it's only used on Kernel banners.)
Tips: Don't use Originum to exchange Orundum. You can buy special skins for Operator with Originum. Free-to-play (F2P) player should take it seriously. You cannot use Headhunting Permit on exclusive headhunting banners, but Orundum works.
Headhunt Banners Mechanics
Headhunt Banner is categorized into permanent and limited banner like the other gacha games, however, there are some different mechanics.
- In Arknights, all the limited banners last 14 days. Furthermore, 6-star Operators compose around 2% of the pool, while 5-star Operators account for 8%. Each banner guarantee 1 5-star Operator in the first ten pulls. So, you can jsut go for the guaranteed Operator if the banner isn't worth rolling.
- After you have performed beyond 50 pulls when you don't obtain 6-star characters, the chance of recruiting 6-star increases by 2 % for each pull. The drop rate returns to 2% once you get 6 star. That is you must get 6-star Operator if you are doing 99th pull.
Note: It's about the 34th pull to headhunt 6-star Operator based on mathematical calculation. If you do not have enough materials, you should cogitate.
Headhunt Banners Types

Standard Pool
You can headhunt Operators anytime. But, the Rate Up characters are regularly changed.
Orienteering Headhunting
The banner orients displayed Operators who are the featured character. Upon obtaining the Operator, you cannot headhunt again. Besides, you will get the target combatant within 150 rolls.
You can see your total pulls in the bottom left corner. (I haven't made any pulls, so no number is showing).
Joint Action Headhunting
Beyond the displayed Operators, you will not headhunt any other 6-star or 5-star characters. There are a total of four 6-star Operators and 6 5-star Operators, meaning your pulls are restricted to these ten characters.
