I start with this French one,dating back from 1781(!).

In 1781, Monsieur de Nansouty de Beauregard, "first Lieutenant in the Regiment of Guienne, employed in Recruit in the province of Burgundy,residing in the street du Collège, in Dijon",recruited for his regiment of Guienne,currently "in garrison in Provence",a new company of grenadiers and chasseurs. (hunters)

In a "Notice to the Beautiful Youth," Her Majesty's Army accepted only the young men of "good and honest families," and offered to these recruits "very good Engagements," (I think this meant rewards,or salary) without forgetting "Forty sols a day" for their travel to the garrison.
"Those who would procure him "handsome men" would be "generously rewarded."

(A rough translation)

"Notice to the beautiful youth,

Regiment of Guienne,in garrison in Provence,

By the King,

The young men of good and honest families,willing to serve his Majesty in his French infantry have then to adress to M. DE NANSOUTY DE BEAUREGARD,first Lieutenant in the Regiment of Guienne, employed in Recruit in the province of Burgundy,residing in the street du Collège, in Dijon.

As he pledges for the recruiting of a new company of Grenadiers and Chasseurs,they are sure to be generously rewarded,and would additionally receive,for their travel,40 sols a day til the garrison.
Those who would procure him handsome men would be generously rewarded. "
