How does a CIA officer recruit an agent?

An officer recruits an agent much the same way a suitor would sort of court someone that he wanted to marry. Basically you develop a relationship with that person. Take them out to dinner, express interest; not only in what they're doing at work but in their personal life, their family life. Really become a friend to that person, all the while keeping in mind that you're not really a friend, you're a CIA officer who ultimately is going to try to develop a formal professional relationship with this person.
