Receive Seer's Prediction from Doc Hollis
Upon arriving at Matriarch's Mercy, talk to Doc Hollis Beardsley and he will give you the Seer's Prediction datapad. Read the datapad from your inventory and the quest will update with the location of three recruits.
Recruit the Taxidermist
The taxidermist, Gregory Farnham, is located in front of one of the tents near the entrance of Matriach's Mercy. Speak to Gregory and ask him to help out Doc Hollis.
Gregory will always agree to help but only after you've gotten him some dead Sprats. This is unavoidable since the Medical 5 check leads to the same outcome. Find and deliver some dead Sprats to him and he'll join Doc Hollis.
Get Dead Sprats for the Taxidermist
So, if you want to convince the taxidermist, you'll have to source some dead Sprats for him. Look for Frankie Billings - Gregory's go-to seller for all things dead Sprat. She can be found inside a large cave to the northeast of Fort Endurance
You'll have a few ways to get the dead Sprats from her. If you can pass a Speech 8, Observation 8, or Intimidator perk check, you can get the Sprats for free. Otherwise, you'll have to cough up 750 Bits to get the Sprats.
Recruit the Doctor Automech
The Doctor Automech is found northeast of the Landing Pad, or near the entrance of Guardian Estates. This is a Scrapper camp, so be ready for a fight. To recruit the Automech, you will need either the Brilliant trait, Automech Anatomist perk, or Hack 8.
Recruit the Plumber
Benjamin Dorsey, the plumber, is located in the trenches north of Alexandra Station Entrance. If you've convinced either the Taxidermist or the Doctor Automech to join you, then you can easily convince the plumber by telling him about either of the two recruits.
If you have not yet recruited the Taxidermist or Doctor Automech, then you'll have to pass a Speech 8 check in order to get Benjamin to help Doc Hollis out.
Return to Doc Hollis Beardsley
Once you've recruited at least one candidate, you can return to Doc Hollis to collect your reward. However, if you want the full rewards, make sure to recruit all three canditates first (Doctor Automech, Taxidermist, and Plumber).

You can also kill Frankie Billings to get the sprats for free. I'm doing a no-bit run and I took the Easily Distracted perk so getting those skills to 8 is gonna be tricky. There's also some information that you can use when talking to her but I haven't found it. I've gone everywhere but a few locked doors (lockpick is 5) and the Manufactory
