hire, higher

Hire or hire means what happens when we give someone a job. We hire someone. When we are given a job, we are hired--
I hope the company hires me.
Find out what the business expects from the people they hire.

Higher or higher ( rhymes with hire ) is the comparative ( more than ) form of "high"--
The kite sailed higher and higher in the sky.
That brand has a higher price.

Now that you know that, you can say--
" I hope they hire me at a higher salary."

Note--"Hire's" is a brand name ( of root beer), hence the capital letter for a proper name--
Did you see the ad for Hire's root beer?
Not to be confused with "hires", the third  person singular ( he, she, it ) form of "hire"--
If he hires me, I will start on Monday.
