Laravel get employee have been hired for n months

Let's say in my employee table I have a column 'hire_date', I want the employee who has the tenure of 1-3 months or simply only 3-month old employees by 'hire_date'.

I tried this:

Employee::whereDate('hire_date', '<=', Carbon::now()->subMonths(3))
          ->orderBy('hire_date', 'desc')
          ->get();

But it returns all the employees.

I printed the raw query and it is just going back 3 months from the current date and then fetching the records.

date(`hire_date`) <= 2020-02-22 //whereDate('hire_date', '<=', Carbon::now()->subMonths(3)

What am I doing wrong? Any Idea to achieve this?

Example: Jhon an employee was hired in a company on 01/Feb/2020. So when he completes his 3 months in the company I want to do something by fetching his records.

eloquent laravel mysql sql php

So for all person hired between the first and the last dayof the month

Employee::whereDate('hire_date', '>=', Carbon::now()->subMonths(3)->firstOfMonth())
          ->whereDate('hire_date', '<=', Carbon::now()->subMonths(3)->lastOfMonth())  
          ->orderBy('hire_date', 'desc')
          ->get();

so that 

date(`hire_date`) <= '2020-02-1' AND date(`hire_date`) >= '2020-02-29'

Solution for your issue is,

$datetime = new DateTime('NOW'); //Current date
$datetime->modify('- 3 months'); //Date before 3 months
$backDate = datetime->format('Y-m-d'); //Format date

$employees = Employee::whereDate('hire_date', $backDate)
                          ->orderBy('hire_date', 'desc')
                          ->get();
