Hire traders to help out manage and boost your operations. Traders can be assigned to trade on your behalf in various markets and also to manage your buildings and power plants.
How to get traders
Your HR department continuously scans for candidates, you can see them in the candidate section and decide whether you want to hire one of them. There is a chance of a new candidate appearing every tick.
The trades can vary in their talents, your HR will try to indicate their strengths. But you only really come to know the person in your team once you work with them.
XPing up your traders
Each trader starts with randomized skills in 3 areas: trading, management and productivity. Make sure you assign your trader to market or a building. Only traders that are assigned are gaining experience. There is a chance each tick of the trader getting experience based on the position they are assigned to and the trader talent.
Make sure to visit your trader's screen at least once a day to apply gained XP to the skill you wish your trader to improve.
