Which is the difference between the two verbs:employ and
hire. We say the company is hiring or employing…What is the transactive verb?
Where ‘hire’ has the definition of ‘pay someone to do a job’ it is possible that there is no difference. However, it is also possible that ‘hire’ is seen as a shorter term contract than ‘employ’.
In my opiníon, it is also possible to ‘employ’ a method or idea, but ‘hire’ always involves a person or a tool.
