[DC] Where do these villains keep hiring goons?

In Gotham for example, the Joker gets new goons just about every time he goes about doing his thing, he's even responsible for some of them dying.

Where do they find these guys?

I suspect there's a pool of ex-cons who are down on their luck and have few legitimate employment options. They float from gig to gig, henching for different villains between stints in prison, rehab, and attempts at "going straight".

Recruitment is largely by word of mouth. Prisons and gangs have their own informal communication networks.
