In fiction, whenever anyone has a position they need filled, rather than putting out a want ad or interviewing potential candidates, they'll simply grab the first person they see and ''force'' them to help.

== [[Music]] ==
* In the [[Stan Freberg]] recording "The Old Payola Roll Blues," Clyde Ankle is on his way to high school when he is grabbed off the street by a record company which sees in his "pretty face and a pompadour" the makings of a teenage [[Idol Singer]]. Despite that (actually, ''because'') he can't sing, they get him to record the would-be hit single "High School, Oo-Oo" by threatening him with a pointed stick.
 
== [[New Media]] ==
* In ''[[Descendant of a Demon Lord]]'' Celes told some bandits she was recruiting them, and it was up to them if she killed them first. So far she's never done this sort of thing with civilians... unless you count the enemy cooks she kidnapped, and even then she has only put one of those cooks in combat (said cook became a monster before combat, has to some extent become Celes's apprentice, and was absolutely on board with risking her life for Celes).
