Is the word recrutamento the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammatical function of "recrutamento" are identical in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are typically more open and clearly articulated. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often reduced or "closed," meaning the "e" sounds might be much shorter or almost swallowed, creating a different phonetic rhythm.
