Recruiting/hiring (for)
Suppose that you are posting a job ad because you need new workers for your company. I have made up the two similar sentences below.
(1) We are currently recruiting (for) an accountant.
(2) We are currently hiring (for) an accountant.
Is the word, for, required in the sentences? Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help.

No, "for" is wrong. "We are currently hiring/recruiting accountants" sounds fine to me, but the sentence seems very faintly wrong with singular "an accountant", as if you have already found that accountant and the process of hiring/recruiting him is underway. I think I would say "We are currently seeking to hire/recruit an accountant".
