Your first hire

Simplified example

Another player applies to your company. You can employ up to five players and set the wage yourself. The company account holds €6,000.

What do you do?

Choose a decision to see its consequences. You can look at every option; there is no time limit and no one right answer.

A. Hire now at a modest wage of €1,200 a month

Right away: The account covers five months of wages if nothing else comes in.

Possible later: A low wage keeps costs down but makes the job less attractive than other offers.

B. Hire now at €2,000 a month

Right away: The account covers three months of wages.

Possible later: A good wage builds loyalty, but you will have to top up the account sooner.

C. Hire only after the company has closed two months with a profit

Right away: The account stays untouched.

Possible later: You take no risk, but the applicant may find a place elsewhere.
