Definition
用人 (yòng rén) is a verb-object phrase meaning 'to employ/hire people' or 'to manage people' — it focuses on the act of using staff, not the staff themselves. Unlike 雇/雇佣 (gù/gùyōng), which are single verbs for 'hire', 用人 is more about the process of staffing or people management, and it can also mean 'in need of staff'.
