You became a blacksmith by apprenticing to the trade which means going and living with a master smith and and learning from him or her. For a period of several years you worked for all intents for free. At some point the mastersmith would decide if you were worthy of training or decide that you were unfit for the trade. If the mastersmith judged you as worthy you would then learn from them the basic skills need to become a journeyman. When the mastersmith decided you ready you would make a test piece for for the mastersmith to judge. If approved by the mastersmith then the test piece would be judged by the a guild. If the guild approved the test piece you became a journeyman. As a journeyman you were expected to travel the land and learn from any mastersmith you could. When you felt you were ready you then made another test piece for the guild and if approved by the guild. You were raise to the level of mastersmith. at which point you could set up shop train apprentices and start the cycle again. the whole process could take as much as 15 years or more. where blacksmiths were in short supply the whole thing could be shortened to a few years.

If you mean did the blacksmith hire people? The answer is no. They may apprentice a young man as a blacksmith or train their own child, but they really didn't hire people to work for them. The society was not as mobile as we are today and people were born to a position and stayed there, so very few people moved from job to job.
