Hi,

Here's the basic and normal English.

He was hired as captain. 'Hire' means you bring somebody new into eg the business.

He was promoted to captain. 'Promote' means you give a better job to someone who is already workin

SheltieBites,
I'd be much help to yourself If you just take the answers Clive and Anon gave you and move onto other questions you may have. Don't get entangled with your "grammar experiments".
Hired as and-Promoted to are pretty much fixed phrases. www.linkedin.
