What does HIREE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A person who has recently been given a job by an employer; a newly hired employee, as distinguished from the person or organization doing the hiring.
Business and legal writing sometimes needs a clear way to distinguish the person taking a job from the party offering it, and hiree fills that role in the same pattern as employee and employer or lessee and lessor. A hiree is simply the one who accepts the position, whether starting on the first day of work or still completing onboarding paperwork. The word appears less often than the more common phrase new hire, which serves almost the same purpose in everyday speech. Where hiree does turn up, it is usually in formal contracts, staffing reports, or discussions that specifically contrast the hired party with the hirer.
How HIREE is used
A fairly formal or specialised word, most often met in business, staffing, or legal writing rather than casual conversation.
