Where are guild gatherers recruited?

How / where are guild gatherers (specialists) recruited?  The description says "one gatherer per level" of the guild house, but not how.

Say you found a rare mineral on the map. Well to get that rare mineral you will first need to do the 4 hour Guild research to unlock the mineral guild research. The 8 hour minerals guild research allows you to build the mining camps. To build the gathers for collecting rare minerals you will need the 1 day research of geology. This will unlock the rare mineral gathers that you can build in market place.

Cottors can mine minerals. Minerals are basic and cottors can harvest minerals, skins or herbs. For the rare minerals, rare herbs or animal parts you will need the special research that is under Guild Research. 

Cottors for basic only. Special Harvesters for special only.

This is correct, cotters can harvest 100 units of the more generic items per unit, however the advanced units only harvest 1 specialist item per unit.
