The contract, which is worth £140m, will start in March 2022, when the current 10-year contract was due to end.
Capita said it works in partnership with the Army as the Recruiting Partnering Project (RPP) to attract, source and select officers and soldiers. Under the contract, the company will deliver technology and digital improvements to the recruiting systems and processes, as well as continuing to provide the existing recruitment services.
Chief executive officer Jon Lewis said: "We are delighted that the British Army has chosen to extend our recruitment contract.
"This marks another important contract renewal for Capita this year, as we continue to transform the business.
"The award of this extension is testament to the trust and strong, partnering relationship we have with the Army and the Ministry of Defence, and to the major turnaround of our service delivery."
