Infinitival complement
1. She is qualified enough for you to hire.
2. She is qualified enough for you to hire her.
I think both the sentences are grammatically correct and have the same meaning.
I also realize that the infinitive clauses act as complements to "qualified enough".
But what are the terms for the two different types of complements ?

Debpriya De I think both the sentences are grammatically correct and have the same meaning. As for me the second sentence sounds odd... and I suppose it isn't correct as to hire is already concerns her so that there is no need to write it again.

They both seem fine to me, with #2 slightly more conversational/natural. I don't see any difference at all in the type of complementation. The infinitive merely has an object in #2.
