I’m an HR Professional with my BHRM, and aPHR. Hopefully my review can help! First, of all...this has high potential! I think the interviewing process has a great foundation. It accurately depicts candidates with different experience levels, salary expectations, and performance efficiency. There’s one piece missing that I think would add realism. A culture index rating would hit the nail on the head. Since you’re building a company, culture index gives you insight of employee engagement and collaboration. The more your candidate fits into your company culture...the better chance of success! Also if they lack experience and efficiency, fitting this index could lead to the employee becoming a huge success!
I think the firing is too cut and dried. In the real world, employees get performance reviews, performance improvement plans, and write ups. Maybe make this feature variable on making the employee improve or fail? Most instances disciplinary action and counseling helps the employee improve and become successful.
There should be managers and supervisors for the employees. They sit in on the candidate interviews and provide input. When firings happen, you (HR) are there to witness and assist the employee on final benefits, pay, etc. Managers usually come to you about terminating a employee.
Another metric that would be good along with the efficiency would be morale. Like have random scenario pop ups with team building, company events, launches, etc. Morale drives culture and engagement. This is another thing a good HR manager keeps an eye on (quite a few do not, but my critical opinion).
The departments need different positions. I noticed when I unlocked the finance department, there were no candidates who were interviewed/hired for accounting. When other departments open up, have applicants with the appropriate titles for that department. Just a minor tweak :)
Lastly, employee conflict would add more realism to being a HR Manager. Like sexual harassment complaints, employees complaining about their manager/coworker attitude, and performance. Have investigations and interviews with a final decision. This also determines the success/failure of your company.
I know there’s a myriad of tweaks and suggestions more that I wish I could share, but I think these things would point HRManagerJobSimulator in the right direction! I never would have thought a simulator of what I do in the real world would have been made. I would like to see this takeoff, and help people get a inside look of what HR is like!
