President Simulator Recruit Advisors: Office Setup

You recruit advisors in President Simulator through the office computer improvement tab once you earn funds and raise your popularity. Hired staff automate document delivery between your executive desk and the submission tray during busy twelve-hour presidential work shifts.

How Do You Recruit Advisors in President Simulator?

Advisors are automated staff members who carry signed decrees from your desk to the submission box. Early in the game, your character begins with zero popularity, zero skills, and a cluttered room full of cobwebs. You must carry every single piece of paper by hand to the side room or throw pages toward the collection tray before the evening deadline.

To hire your initial assistant, sit at the desk and open the computer interface. Navigate to the improvements menu. The option to hire one advisor costs $2,000 in gameplay funds accumulated from passed legislation. If your balance is short, learning how to get money by approving high-probability bills or using the money printer will build your treasury. Once purchased, your helper spawns near the desk and automatically carries one validated bill to the deposit box every 45 seconds.

Official documentation on the Steam store page outlines the role of these executive assistants:

Independent industry databases such as Fantasy President Career similarly highlight that delegation is a core mechanic for managing heavy paperwork volumes in modern political simulation titles.

How Do Advisor Upgrades Improve Daily Office Workflow?

Staff upgrades are computer improvements that increase worker movement speed and document capacity. A baseline assistant moves slowly, meaning uncollected decrees can clutter your blotter while the 9:00 PM closing chime approaches. Raising your standing with the public through popularity unlocks secondary physical traits and functional perks on the terminal.

Conseiller TurboSpeeding up delivery to beat the 9:00 PM cutoffUnlocked after baseline assistant

The Advisor Legs upgrade activates when your approval rating reaches 2%. This enhancement enables staff to stand up from their small office chairs independently, walk directly into the Oval Office, and pick up stacks of decrees from your work surface. Later upgrades like Conseiller Turbo reduce the round-trip delay between rooms, ensuring that last-minute bills reach validation before the administrative day shuts down.

How Do You Manage Advisors During Daily Working Hours?

Office management is the daily process of coordinating bill signing between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM. Outside these hours, secretaries sleep and assistants cannot process papers. When a new shift begins, pick up the morning briefing to activate the office clock and summon active personnel to their stations.

If an assistant takes too long to reach your blotter, you can drop or throw decrees onto the carpet right in front of them so they register the pickup sooner. The physical ragdoll system also allows you to bump into or shove advisors out of their chairs if they block your path to the situation room during sudden emergencies.

Maintaining a functional layout ties directly into broader Oval Office restoration, turning an abandoned, boarded-up workplace into an efficient command center where assistants handle routine logistics while you focus on high-stakes decrees.
