XYZ desires to retain
English to German
Marketing
Marketing
XYZ desires to retain ABC as a study participant on behalf
of our client on the following terms and conditions.
This is a study participant agreement for a market research study
What is irritating me, is the use of the word "retain" in this sentence. The agreement is basically an offer to ABC to participate in a certain study. It further sets what activities will be required from the participant, and what compensation ($) he will receive.
Retain is to "keep" something or somebody.
I would translate this as: XYZ wuenscht die Dienste von ABC als Studienteilnehmer im Namen unseres Klienten in Anspruch zu nehmen, or something to that extend.
Any suggestions?

oder eben "rekruitieren" - wenn "gewinnen" zu allgemeinsprachlich ist

Nur als Anregung. Der wohl häufigste Gebrauch des Wortes betrifft Rechtsanwälte. Denkbar wäre auch "unter Vertrag nehmen"?
