Morphology

hailer = hail (transparent) = hail + er

Derived by straightforward agentive suffixation from 'hail' meaning 'to praise/acclaim', so the sense 'one who praises' is predictable.

Etymology

Hailer comes from the verb hail, which can also mean 'to praise' or 'greet', like 'hail the hero'. So a hailer is a person who loudly praises or proclaims someone as excellent.
