A classic Fantasy and Science Fiction trope. A group with extraordinary powers of some sort goes recruiting among the general population, searching for others like themselves. They may be from The Order, or a school for wizards, witches or gifted youngsters. Key to this trope is the fact that they come looking for you. Those extra-normal folk leave their ivory tower or basement lab and go out among the rest of us. The scene may subtly juxtapose the mundane with the fantastic (e.g. Professor X sitting in your living room, drinking Mom's tea like a college recruiter), or it may be as grandiose and dazzling as a World War II recruitment drive. Note this rarely happens in a world where the supernatural stays hidden, and the Search is usually open and above-board. Generally being chosen is a prestigious thing; the only ones who would interfere either have a inherent distrust of all things outside the mundane, or nefarious plans of some sort. Regardless, everyone accepts. Most characters accept immediately, recognizing that riding a dragon while incinerating your enemies with telekinesis is a lot cooler than moisture-farming on Tatooine or whatever. If not, no matter. Just don't make plans to settle down. Contrast with Mutant Draft Board, where acceptance is mandatory. If you want to know what the recruiters are looking for, check out Magic and Powers. Compare The Call Knows Where You Live. |

Spider-Man 2099: In the Civil War II tie-in, Miguel winds up in an alternate 2099 where most superheroes are outlaws, but the X-Men work for the government. After questioning this, it's pointed out by Daredevil 2099 that the government offered them protection and a steady paycheck rather than, say, trying to exterminate them all, so most of them took the offer. | |

Whateley Universe: Whateley Academy sometimes engages in this when a newly emerged mutant makes the headlines and they can get people there quickly enough, while others get pointed at the school by former alumni or simply people who have heard of it. It's strongly implied that at least some "mutant schools" in other parts of the world are more straightforward examples of the Mutant Draft Board trope instead, but attendance at Whateley is technically entirely voluntary — simply usually presented as a very good idea considering the likely alternatives. At the school itself, some organizations such as intelligence and law enforcement agencies, various national militaries (via the school's UN-sponsored JROTC program), corporations (primarily technology companies looking for talented Gadgeteer Geniuses), The Syndicate, and even superhero teams do their best to recruit graduating students. While active recruiting on campus outside of organized school events is frowned upon, this doesn't stop recruiters from the CIA and other agencies sneaking onto school grounds looking to accost prospective recruits with their pitch, with some frequent fliers being well-known to Campus Security. Keep in mind that this is a high school. Also, several students come to Whateley having already been recruited by such groups, who act as the students' sponsors; this includes Mimeo (sponsored by the Syndicate, as one of the first students to attend, in part to test the enforcement of The Accords), Sahar (who had signed on with the CIA as a way out of her hellish circumstances in Beirut), Tether (who agreed to be sponsored with the expectation she would learn enough that she could pay off her debt to a supervillain), and Lodestone (who made a similar deal with the same (now retired) supervillain as a way to prepare for her planned revenge for her father's death). |

Discworld: Some witches in Lancre will periodically line up the local girls and choose one with talent to be an apprentice. (Or so we're told; of the main character witches, Granny doesn't have the patience, Nanny doesn't have the interest, and Magrat doesn't have the confidence.) It's also mentioned that Granny was never officially recruited, she just decided she was going to be a witch as a young girl and camped outside the local witches' cottage until she agreed to teach her. In the Tiffany Aching subseries, Miss Tick has the job of doing this by stealth in areas where Burn the Witch! is in effect. The wizards in Unseen University are also on the look-out for boys with innate magical talent, so they can be provided with training in their abilities (or in the words of the UU founder Alberto Malich "We'd better keep the bright buggers where we can see 'em"). Simon has just been discovered by such a recruiter when we first meet him in Equal Rites. |

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The protagonists of The Legend of Korra are in the middle of one as of season 3. After the Harmonic Convergence, random people around the world have been developing Airbending, and so Team Avatar is going around to find them and take them to the Northern Air Temple to rebuild the Air Nomad culture. Deconstructed since the people they're going after all have lives and homes of their own and don't want to join — it took arranging a jailbreak for conscripted airbenders and pissing off the Earth Queen to increase their numbers beyond a Republic City civilian called Daw, Bumi (who was already half Air Nomad anyway) and Kai, who joined to escape arrest. Toph went on a similar recruitment drive for metalbenders in the sequel comics; occasionally, her "space earth" armband would sometimes shiver the tiniest bit even if she wasn't bending it, and eventually she realized it was in response to certain people in her vicinity getting "super-emotional". She was able to persuade three such people to come to her "metalbending academy"... but she ran into a slight snag because the only ones who'd get "super-emotional" in public were, well, "crazy people." |

This is how the "mutant corps" of early Perry Rhodan came to be — basically by means of a few dedicated recruiters going around with portable mutant detection devices and asking potential candidates if they'd like to leave their mundane lives behind and join the guys working to break the then still ongoing cold war stalemate and help Earth get ready to face the larger universe full of alien civilizations on its own terms. Most of the people asked Jumped at the Call. | |

In The Witcher, this happened during the backstory. Because witchers are sterile and can't just breed more, the only way to create more witchers was to recruit young boys, many of whom were orphans, abandoned, or given as payment under the Law of Surprise, and then subject them to Training from Hell and mutations. | |
