-	A '''hiring bureau''' is an important type of facility in [[~~Mazeworld~~]]. It is the Mazes' job-finding and assigning agency. A very important type of business, it is ~~the main source of employment of~~ Maze denizens and ~~inhabitants~~. ~~The~~ [[~~contestant~~]] ~~can use both~~ the ~~market and the job-~~finding ~~services~~.	+	A '''hiring bureau''' is an important type of facility in [[MazeWorld]]. It is the Mazes' job-finding and assigning agency. A very important type of business, it is where most Maze denizens go if they wish to find jobs and contracts, for temporary or, more rarely, permanent employment. For the [[Contestant]], the hiring bureau is primarily useful for finding [[Quests]].

The more jobs completed, the more difficult the next ones become, and in turn, the more they pay off.

-	Aside from ~~contestants, Mazeworld denizens also regularly use~~ the ~~Hiring Bureau's job-finding system~~, and it is even~~, for some,~~ their primary source of revenue. Jobs are of varied ~~nature~~; something as simple as an escort to go through dangerous rooms, to odd jobs such as bouncer, bodyguard, deliveries, item finding, and such. Some may even find full employment with specific people using the system as a medium.	+	Aside from the Contestant, hiring bureaus are frequently used by MazeWorld denizens of all kinds and walks of life. For some, it is even their primary source of revenue. Jobs found there are extremely varied and depend largely on the demand from employers; something as simple as an escort to go through dangerous rooms, to odd jobs such as bouncer, bodyguard, deliveries, item finding, and such. Some may even find full employment with specific people using the system as a medium.

-	The hiring bureau's system defines two categories of people: First, '''Employers''', who post jobs and request services, indicate the payment they will promise if the job is done, and write off conditions. Those who reply to employers are called '''~~Volunteers~~'''. Hirers assign ~~volunteers (which are either solo people, or teams, usually of 2, rarely more)~~ to jobs depending on their reputation and the requests of both employers and ~~volunteers~~, essentially acting as a very important middleman~~. Hirers also have access to the Mazes' teleporter system, which sends volunteers directly to the job's meeting point, and back once they are finished~~. There is no restriction on which species can be employers or ~~volunteers~~, so long as ~~they're sapient and capable of speaking the common language; even youkai can post and apply for jobs~~.	+	The hiring bureau's system defines two categories of people: First, '''Employers''', who post jobs and request services, indicate the payment they will promise if the job is done, and write off conditions. Those who reply to employers are called '''Contractors'''. Hirers assign contractors to jobs, depending on their reputation and the requests of both employers and contractors, essentially acting as a very important middleman. There is no restriction on which species can be employers or contractors, so long as both parties are satisfied.

-	In order to be registered as either employer or ~~volunteer~~, one must first sign up~~. Hirers may refuse people from signing up as either employer or volunteer if either group has too many members (a statistic that is given to them on their computers by the GMs)~~. Signing up is quick, easy, and free - it only involves giving the hirer the full name, species, age, and desired ~~group~~ (employer or ~~volunteer~~). Contestants ~~are name-checked as well, and~~ cannot become employers; ~~and~~ can only become ~~volunteers during~~ the ~~Contracts missions~~.	+	In order to be registered as either employer or contractor, one must first sign up. Signing up is quick, easy, and free - it only involves giving the hirer the full name, species, age, and desired role (employer or contractor), although a phone number and an address are highly encouraged, particularly for potential employers. Contestants cannot become employers; they can only become contractors, due to a special rule set in place by the [[Administrator]].

-	Hirers ~~are mandated by the Game Masters themselves and~~ receive a daily pay of '''250 P$/day'''. ~~This job requires special qualifications and training~~, ~~and may~~ be ~~a choice~~ of ~~career after selecting~~ the ~~right studies~~ and ~~qualifying for hirer training selection - which are people handpicked by the GMs themselves to become hirers.

There is always one hiring bureau in every town, as their function is considered to be one of the most basic and crucial services in a [[Towns\|town]], vital to the proper function.

-	The hiring bureau contains eight cages, in which creatures of all kinds and origins may end up, for various reasons. They may be derelict people that are serving a punishment, domesticated creatures that need a new owner, people selling themselves on purpose to seek a master, or even mercenaries seeking for an employer. Contestants may purchase one of those creatures, who is then automatically assigned as his/her [[Ally]], if he/she didn't have one already.	+
-		+
-	A [[contestant]] cannot sell himself/herself, as hirers are instructed to name-check anyone wanting to sell themselves, and are aware of the contestant's name. If he/she attempts to, the hirer will turn down their attempt and refuse. They can, however, put their [[ally]] for sale.	+
