hiree

Successful job candidate

A hiree is someone who has been hired—the complement to the hirer.

The word appears in employment contexts, legal documents, and HR discussions: The hiree must complete orientation before starting work.

Though grammatically straightforward, hiree is less common than employee or new hire in everyday speech.
