There are a number of "incarnations" of each recruitable NPC. The number is usually around 5 or so, and they are all of different levels. (If you have Shadowkeeper, you can see them for yourself in the Creature Browser.) At the moment when they first join your party, the game gives them the attributes of whichever "incarnation" has the EXP level that most closely matches the PC's EXP level.

So, if you tried to import a Level 1 PC and recruit NPCs, you would just get their lowest-level incarnations, which would all be around Level 8 or so. (In fact, you can't import a Level 1 PC at all, the game automatically makes sure you're at at least 89,000 EXP when you start out.)
