I would think that most of the "evil men" who joined Sauron had joined him before, considering they may have been disorganized. Sauron seemed to be a god-like thing and be on the winning side, which they wanted.

Plausible reasons for being:
Easterlings: Rumor has it that throughout Rhun are temples to Morgoth and his kin. I suspect that the Easterlings were merely following through on their worshipping of Sauron.
Variags of Khand: Barbaric, possiply leaderless, wanted to be on the winning side, dared not oppose Mordor for fear of losing.
Dunlendings: Same as above.
Haradrim and Corsairs: The only people who we know had a grudge against Gondor, their reasons are obvious, included in some of the reasons above.
