hire

Số nhiều: hiresQuá khứ: hiredPhân từ 2: hiredV-ing: hiring

The word carries a transactional energy, focusing on the exchange of money for labor or utility. In American English, using this for objects is less common than using rent, making hire feel more British or specialized when applied to equipment or vehicles. When used as a noun, it shifts from the process of recruitment to the identity of the person. It is frequently used in corporate environments to categorize employees by their arrival date, such as in the phrase new hire, creating a professional yet impersonal label for a colleague.

Countable when referring to a specific person who was recently employed. Uncountable when referring to the general process of recruitment.
