'on the line'?
Hi,
Please have a look at this:
[About the HR manager] You will get a big return on investment if you recruit your own senior executives to teach some of these sessions by using actual company information, problems, and challenges. Not only will such sessions bring home the reality of why people need to master these skills, they will give the ‘teachers’ a fresh insight into their own psychology and valuable input from people on the line.
1. I wonder why the writer used 'recruit' here. Those senior executives are already the company's employees. right? And why does the HR manager have to recruit them again?
2. What does 'on the line' mean here? (I find the two usual definitions of 'on the line' - 'at risk of failing or being harmed' and 'speaking on the phone' not very suitable in this case)
Thank you very much,
Nessie.

Hi Nessie
nessie0001. I wonder why the writer used 'recruit' here. Those senior executives are already the company's employees. right? And why does the HR manager have to recruit them again?In the context, the meaning of "recruit" isn't really much different from "ask". It means the HR manager should ask the company's own executives to teach some of the sessio
