Hiring Bureau
| Navigation: | Main Page → Civilized Areas → Facilities → Hiring Bureau | |||
The Hiring Bureau is a facility handling and assigning job requests and applications. This facility is managed by a single person, the Hirer (appointed by the mayor), which processes all requests for a town.
Functionally, the Hiring Bureau may be treated as the equivalent of an adventuring guild; in that independent contractors and mercenaries may take jobs frequently from requests posted at the Bureau. It also fulfills the role of an employment agency, matching potential employers and employees together. Visiting the local Hiring Bureau is the recommended first step towards employment for all inhabitants, whether contractual or long-term.
Visitors looking for contracts, one-time jobs and similar gigs may use one of the public-use computers, whereas guidance and long-term employment are handled by visiting the Hirer's office.
It is an essential facility; one is guaranteed in each town in the Mazes.
Locations
Every town in the Mazes possesses a Hiring Bureau. The ones in Roazon and Fort Silver are abandoned.
