聘用

• 拼音: pìn yòng
• 汉字拆解: 聘 = 耳 + 甹 (ear + summon — formal selection); 用 = 卜 + 中 (divination + centre — to apply or use purposefully)

含义

To employ; to hire someone for a position or task. Emphasises the utilisation of someone's skills and services through an employment relationship.

聘用 is slightly less formal than 聘任 and focuses on the employment relationship itself rather than the specific title or post. Common in contracts, HR policies, and official notices. 聘用合同 = employment contract. 临时聘用 = temporary engagement.

例句

正确说法

• 人力资源部门在聘用新员工时，需严格核查其学历证书的真实性和相关职业资格证书的有效期，以防范用人风险。(When employing new staff, the human resources department must rigorously verify the authenticity of academic certificates and the validity of relevant professional qualification certificates to guard against employment risks.)
• 为应对季节性业务高峰，公司每年夏季都会通过劳务派遣公司聘用一批临时人员，待旺季结束后依合同约定结束聘用关系。(To cope with the seasonal business peak, the company engages a group of temporary staff through a labour dispatch agency each summer, terminating the employment relationship in accordance with the contract once the busy season ends.)

错误说法

• 聘用 implies a formal employment relationship with agreed terms — do not use it for purely informal or volunteer arrangements; 义务帮忙 or 自愿参与 are more appropriate in those cases
