You can hire engineers and scientists. You just need to make them a place where they can do their job.
You do kinda hire engineers and scientists, except what you're actually doing is building them a cozy place inside your base to work in. I don't know where all the scientists and engineers you get as rewards go to, however. Maybe the supplying countries build their own little XCOM bases and them "giving" you four scientists instead amounts to giving you an off-site laboratory and four expert scientists to staff it. Something similar with engineers.
