Hired is a strategy-puzzle game that launched on PC in early 2023. Despite the game's modest profile, recent gaming coverage has touched on the word "hired" across unrelated stories - from the US Department of Transportation recruiting gamers for air traffic control roles, to wildlife management teams deploying "monkey whisperers" during a badminton championship, to character artist hiring decisions at major studios like Insomniac Games working on Marvel's Wolverine. None of this coverage directly addresses the game itself, suggesting Hired remains largely under the radar in gaming discourse, with industry news dominating mentions of its title rather than players discussing the game's mechanics or reception.
