In the Roblox tycoon simulation Build a Phone Empire (developed by DEVTEC STUDIOS), hiring friends is an integrated recruitment feature where people on your Roblox friends list automatically appear as applicant candidates. Once recruited, these friends work inside your company office using their actual Roblox avatars.
How the Friend Hiring System Works
When managing your workforce in Build a Phone Empire, the game pulls candidate profiles from your personal Roblox friends list. Key mechanics confirmed by the developer include:
- Friend Candidates: Prospective employees generated by the hiring pool feature your Roblox friends.
- Avatar Representation: Once hired, workers sit at designated stations and work in your office displaying their actual custom Roblox avatars.
- Device Production: Your hired staff handles the execution phase after you design a device, pick components, and set product pricing.
Desks and Office Requirements
The office customization system allows you to build out the layout from your starting 2007 garage up to a full corporate Headquarters:
- Workstation Setup: You can build out your office with walls, doors, floors, paint, desks, and decorations.
- Candidate Batches: Recruitment candidates refresh in periodic monthly batches within the simulation timeline.
Staff Recruitment Passes and Enhancements
Players looking to streamline candidate rolls or automate desk assignments can purchase specific developer game passes:
| Pass Name | Robux Cost | Effect on Recruitment and Staff |
|---|---|---|
| Star Recruiter | 49 Robux | Guarantees every candidate batch includes a 3★+ expert, plus grants one candidate reroll per in-game month. |
| Auto-Hire | 25 Robux | Automatically fills empty office desks every in-game month without requiring manual selection. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Do your friends need to be on the same server to be hired?
The game references your Roblox friends list to generate applicant candidates who show up and work in your office as their real avatars.
How do you get higher-star staff candidates?
Under standard play, candidate star ratings rotate with each monthly applicant pool. Equipping the Star Recruiter game pass guarantees at least one 3★ or higher expert in every applicant batch and provides one monthly reroll.
What happens when you have empty desks?
Empty desks sit vacant until you manually hire available candidates from the recruitment pool. Players using the Auto-Hire pass will have vacant desks populated automatically at the start of each in-game month.
