Portuguese term or phrase: recrutamento em função
Hello. This is the phrase in context:
Seria a favor ou contra a adopção de medidas específicas destinadas a providenciar oportunidades iguais para todos a nível de emprego? Medidas como, por exemplo, esquemas de formação ou processos de selecção ou recrutamento em função...

It is from a questionnaire on politics. Any help very gratefully appreciated.

Thanks a lot :)

Explanation:
Perhaps, even, 'on-the-spot recruitment'. It's a possibility.

Mike, if it's at the end of the phrase, then it can't really read as 'according to....'

"Measures such as, for example, training schemes or selection processes or active recruitment."

My best guess :)
