Meaning of the sentence

we will get you hired over the couple of weeks
  

Top answer

Hi, Without a context there could be a couple of meanings. I suspect a word is missing, as it would sound more correct as "we will get you hired over the next couple of weeks". It could mean either that they will start your employment (hire you) over the next couple of weeks (couple generally meaning 2, but being used informally they may mean 1-3 weeks, it is non-specific).
