The life of Hillel was from 110 BCE to 10 CE. That would mean he lived to be 120. Not likely. But if he were alive in 10 CE then he was a contemporary with Jesus.
Just barely; he might have been around for when Jesus was in the temple discussing philosophy with the elders (assuming that the event isn't just a fiction), but the ministry is generally assumed to be sometime in the area of 27-36 AD. That is, of course, assuming that the whole thing actually happened in the first place. It's all inconclusive whether or not Jesus really existed as the Bible claimed he did, was just a story made up by someone, or if he was an actual historical figure whose deeds and sayings wound up being changed (willfully or not) by his followers.
I personally prefer Hillel's formulation to Jesus'.
