How much money and should I be using the “Pre-Filter Applicants”?
For your first 2 employees invest at least 200k.For the second pair go for 400 or even 500. This may sound like much money to spent but those guys will repay you well even after their first game because they will provide you great boost to design and tech.
The top filter gets your more technical hires, the bottom more design oriented. It’s smart to try and hire at least three eventually and have 2 focused training for design and two for tech, then start focus on on switching to training the opposite stat depending on what you want the person to specialize in.
