Employ and use as applied to things are often interchangeable.

Employ 及 use 两字用指事物时往往可以通用。

As applied to persons, use may suggest an advantage taken of weakness or inferiority.

若用以指人，则use 含利用他人之弱点或劣势之意：

Employ is a more dignified term than hire, for it emphasizes the idea of service to be rendered, while hire suggests the wages to be paid.

Employ 较 hire 为尊重，因前者着重工作的意思，而后者着重付给薪资。
