To Employ, To Hire
transitive verb, godan verb
Because the hiragana ends with an う sound, you know this word is a verb. The kanji itself means employ so the verb vocab version is to employ.
やとう
You are going to employ more people to your business so you can make more money and eventually buy a yacht (やと). That's the dream life, it is.
あなたを雇いたいのは山々ですが、就業許可証が発給されるのを待ってはいられないのです。
I’d like to hire you, but we can’t wait for your work permit to be issued.
