Morphology

hiring + process

The meaning 'the series of steps an organization follows to recruit and select candidates' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'hiring' (recruiting/employing staff) with 'process' (a sequence of steps). This is a straightforward noun+noun composition found across languages and in everyday usage, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Hiring process paints a clear picture: hiring means finding and choosing a worker, while process means a series of steps, like people moving along a line with interviews and checks at each stop. So, it refers to the ordered steps a company follows 'to hire' someone.
