'You're hired' was Donald Trump's signature line as host of NBC's The Apprentice, which premiered in 2004. Each season ended with Trump pointing at the winning contestant in the boardroom and delivering the phrase, the triumphant counterpart to his 'You're fired' elimination line. Clips of the moment circulated for years and the line became a standalone meme, reused far beyond the show whenever someone wants a pompous, official-sounding stamp of approval. It endures because the delivery is so quotable.
About this sound
Donald Trump's famous 'You're hired!' line from The Apprentice. Creators use it as a punchline for job offers, interview wins and hiring memes.
The clip is a short, confident 'You're hired!' delivered in a firm, declarative tone, the kind of boardroom verdict that lands like a gavel. It lasts about two seconds, with a punchy emphasis on 'hired' that makes it instantly recognisable even out of context. Hearing it triggers a small rush of triumph, the feeling of winning a contest or passing a test, which is why creators love dropping it as a final beat. It works best as a reward sound, turning an ordinary moment into a mock-serious coronation.
