Hiring somebody is the act of engaging a person's services in return for payment.

Recruiting is strengthening or replenishing a group of people.

In other words, recruiting is attempting to get more staff.  Hiring is actually doing it.

Exanples:_

"We need a bigger team so our company is recruiting.  Yesterday we hired somebody and tomorrow we hope to hire two more."

"XYZ bank is recruiting.  In fact they have been recruiting for three months, but they haven't hired anybody yet."

The recruitment industry is called recruitment, not the hiring industry, because only the employer can do the hiring.

However, in colloquial English the two are often used interchangeably.

Hiring Vs Recruiting

 

Recruiting is a constant process of finding people with different talents and the search is continuous where as hiring is the process of short listing people from each recruitment process like written test, technical interview and interview conducted by the human resource person to find the attitude of the candidate and his interest to join the company.

In short in two phrases

we can say hiring is for an external candidate & recruitment is for an internal candidate.
