HireHall

Introduction

What HireHall does, how a job plays out, and where to go next.

HireHall banner with a contract and gold coin mark, the wordmark and pills for Paper, Purpur and Folia, menu driven and nine currency hooks

HireHall lets players hire each other. A player posts a job, the pay is held safely straight away, another player takes the job, does the work and gets paid. Everything happens in menus, so players never have to remember commands.

How a job plays out

A flow of job states from Post Job to Open or Offered, then In progress, Ready to hand in and Completed, with abandon, decline, expired and cancelled paths
  1. An employer opens /hirehall, picks a job type (for example Gather Ores or Hunt Mobs), the target, the amount, the pay and a deadline.
  2. The money and items are taken from the employer at once and held in escrow.
  3. The job appears on the job board, goes to one player as a direct offer, or opens as a community job that anyone can deliver part of.
  4. A worker takes the job. Delivery jobs are handed in through a menu, task jobs (mining, hunting, farming, fishing, crafting, smelting) count up by themselves.
  5. When the work is done the worker is paid through claims. If the job is cancelled or runs out of time, the employer gets the pay back.
  6. The employer can rate the work from one to five stars, which shows on the worker's profile.
