覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
原形 hire の語末の e を落として -ing を付け、hiring となります。発音は /ˈhaɪərɪŋ/。ここでは動作より名詞的な「採用・雇用」で、start hiring、hiring new staff、be in charge of hiring などを一まとまりで覚えましょう。recruitment より、実際に人を雇い入れる行為を直接表します。
Start with the verb hire, meaning to employ someone for pay. To form hiring, drop the final silent e before adding -ing: hire becomes hiring, pronounced /ˈhaɪərɪŋ/. Here, remember it mainly as a noun for the employment process. Picture a company reviewing candidates and adding new staff. Useful combinations are start hiring, hiring new staff, a hiring manager, and be in charge of hiring. Recruitment can include attracting and screening candidates, while hiring focuses more directly on the decision and act of employing them.

hiring の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古英語 hȳrian(賃金を払って人を使う)に由来し、ゲルマン祖語 *hūzijaną が起源。「hire(雇う)」の名詞形で、雇い入れる行為を指す。関連語:hire(雇う)、hireling(雇われ人)。労働の対価を払うという原義が現代の「雇用」にそのまま残っている。
Hiring is formed from hire by dropping the final e and adding -ing. Hire is an old Germanic word found in Old English as hyrian, referring to engaging someone for wages or obtaining the temporary use of something for payment. Its core association with payment for labor remains clear in modern employment language. As a gerund or verbal noun, hiring names the act or process of bringing a person into paid work.
