TheWoWDBAs best I can tell, each Niffen that you need to recruit is fighting a nerubian. You need to tap the nerubian in order to be able to recruit the Niffen. If somebody else already killed the nerubian when you get there, you won't be able to get credit for that Niffen. Just hang out and wait for the respawn, or go do the others while you wait.

Really bad quest design.
Also it seems that you need to be close to the Niffen when the nerubian dies, otherwise still won't let you recruit him.

Description
You need swarmhands, huh? Last time the nerubians wanted our help, they tried to force us. They're terrible negotiators! All we wanted was a little quid pro quo. We've got several arachnologists, but most of them are busy keeping the flyers at bay. I'm sure they won't refuse an opportunity to study some swarmbeasts up close and personal! Maybe if you lighten their workload, they'll take you up on your offer.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Expert Consultant
You alone are no longer sufficient. We require additional assistance, and the jawcrawlers and threadlings also need oversight. The niffen settlement, Mmarl, is not far. However, past forced conscription attempts have failed. Nerubians are now forbidden within the settlement.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Rak-Ush Under New Management
Well, you got your swarmhands. What are you still doing here? Go on then, you don't need my permission! Make sure the nerubians treat them fairly, now.
