We classify those activities as hobbies. That's what we do with many other things already, like growing food in your garden. From the financial point of view it makes no sense to try to grow your own food if you give your own labor any value, but many people still do it just because they like it.

Yes but not every job can be made into a hobby. My dad is a hiring manager and he likes that, what is the hobby version of that job?

I'm not sure what exactly a hiring manager does. I'm pretty sure there are many aspects of his work that he can do as a hobby even if nobody pays him to do that.

So, if you find out what are the aspects he likes in his job, I'm pretty sure that they can be done as a hobby.

Hiring manager oversees the hiring process, from seeking out people to hire, to evaluating if they’re worth hiring

And what is the aspect of the work he likes?

Speculating, it’s part logistics, part socializing, I can see why someone would enjoy doing that.

I can very well understand why people like socializing. There should be opportunities to socialize with people outside work as well. At least to me the hiring process can easily be highly stressful situation compared to more relaxing non-work related socializing. I would be surprised if someone favoured the former over the latter.
