@Anon,

Basically, yeah. Don't laugh. That method worked with near-100% reliability for the Sith Order for millennia when it came to poaching appretices from the Jedi Temple. All it takes is to hang around looking harmless at shops and other places where Academy students hang-out when not in classes and identify those with the right traits:


 * Ambition;


 * Ruthlessness;


 * Dissatisfaction with the existing order.

Then you approach your chosen subject and tell them that you can offer them the real path to power. If you've done your job correctly, they'll be cautious and suspicious but they'll also be tempted enough to overcome their doubts and give you a shot.
