高管 (15级时解锁)
在现实世界中，公司雇用高管来担任特定的角色。以下是在Sim Companies中可以担任的高管角色，以及他们可以给你的公司带来的好处。
首席运营官（COO）
一位好的COO可以减少你的管理费用百分比（％），因此减少了生产和零售成本。（管理费用）
首席财务官（CFO）
一位好的CFO减少会计费用。CFO上移开始付会计费用的门槛。(会计费用产生于)
首席营销官（CMO）
一位好的CMO增加零售速度，因此提高利润。（零售速度）
首席技术官（CTO）
一位好的CTO可以增加研究点转化为专利的概率。(专利转化概率）

下图显示的是一个使用高管福利的情况。
管理费用：46.47% - 14.41% = 32.06%（真正管理费用；注意，玩家档案只显示第一个百分比）
会计费用产生于（现金与债券水平）：$3M + 7.0M = $10.0M（上移开始付会计费用的门槛，参见常见问题（FAQ））
这个信息表位于你的高管人员下面的高管标签中。
才能和技能
有4种技能：
管理 (COO)
会计 (CFO)
沟通 (CMO)
科学 (CTO)
每个高管开始时的技能都相当低，但随着你对他/她的培训和获得在特定角色工作的经验，技能将得到提高。作为“员工”工作的高管，没有被分配到一个特定的角色，可以获得所有4种技能的经验。
提高的速度由他们的4个天赋决定（每个技能有一个天赋）。天赋是隐藏的，但可以通过每个技能的增长速度来间接观察。天赋不会随着时间的推移而改变。
如前所述，在COO、CFO、CMO和CTO职位上的高管直接使你的公司受益。你的COO的管理技能减少管理费用的最多，然而，其他三个高管的管理技能也有一定的贡献。其他三个职位也是如此。
聘请
高管的聘请在15级时解锁。
注意： 强烈建议你考虑聘请高管所涉及的成本。仅仅因为你可以聘请高管，并不一定意味着你应该聘请高管。 （很多玩家要等到达到20%管理费用才会开始聘请高管）
Executives can be hired as fresh candidates from a University. Or they can be poached from other companies using hiring agencies.
You can have your HR department look for fresh graduates, or you can use one of the 3 hiring agencies to help you get the right executive. The agencies will charge you fee if the executive decided to work for you.
If you decide to use one of 3 hiring agencies you will be offered a candidate based on your requirements, either unemployed, or working for one of the other companies. Based on the information give you can decide to reject the candidate or proceed with the offer.
The information about a person who is not working for you yet is very limited. For students of University with no previous working experience - you will get a free text assessment from your HR department. For candidates with existing working experience (at other companies) you will see a brief info about their work experience and training. A single executive cannot receive more than 20 training.
Helpful information added via the Sim Companies Forum:
An Executive Guide
You cannot give offers to executives of other companies directly. The experienced executives can be hired only using agencies. Once an offer is placed, the executive gets back to you with an answer in 24 hours. You need to pay for all training the executive has received within the last 6 weeks ($20,000 per training). Training that was received before an executive was fired do not have to be paid for.
If your executive is given a 3rd party offer, there are few scenarios:
The offer is too low and your employee does not even consider taking it. You will not even find out an offer was placed.
The offer is high and interesting to your executive.
Executive is loyal and wants to stay. The offer is refused and you will never even know this has happened. (10% probability)
Executive is seriously considering the offer, you do not know details of the offer. You can react by adjusting your executive's salary.
You can either let the Executive go to the 3rd party or wait the 24 hour period. Executives that were seriously considering leaving decide based on the size of the offer and the salary, possibly adjusted, that he/she is getting at your company. Even if the executive decides to leave, it might not happen if the offering company doesn't have funds.
How to make sure your executives do not leave? Make sure you pay them what they are worth. You can increase executives salary at any time.
STAFF
Staff (other directors) are employees that do not add any benefit to the executive positions (COO, CFO, CMO, CTO).
You can use the staff positions to train an employee to replace a retiring or poached executive. Training takes twenty-seven (27) hours and $10,000.
Employees positions can change positions with each other. To do this, select Move.
The options to change the position will show under the Executive. Selecting any of the positions will move them to that location. This will switch the positions of both executives.
Note: changing a staff member to an executive position takes 3 hours for the employee to settle into their new position.
EXPENSES
You need to pay your executives daily. The salary is known when you are hiring. Other expenses you can have are: training ($10,000), severance package if you decide to dismiss your executive (3 days worth of salary). You may also need to make salary counter-offers if other company tries to poach your employees.
Your executives are being paid daily automatically. If there's no cash to cover the salaries, they will strike.
TRAINING
You do have the option to train executives. Whether they gain skills or not from training is dependent on their underlying talent. There is no guarantee that the training will result in the expected skill point gain.
Each training takes 27 hours and costs $10,000.
The categories to train are as follows:
Management training (management skills) (COO)
Accounting seminar (accounting skills) (CFO)
Communication workshop (communication skills) (CMO)
Science conference (science skills) (CTO)
Wide range skills lessons (management, accounting, communication, science)
The max amount of training per executive is 20 sessions.
tip: Use wide range of skills on new hires to find out their strengths. If, they do not gain skills in 2 to 4 training sessions; fire them and look for a new candidate.
EXPERIENCE
Executives can earn experience over time and can gain skills without training. Executives in the main positions (COO, CFO, CMO, CTO) have a higher chance of earning skills based on those positions. As an example: COO’s have a higher chance of earning Management skills.
Experience can be earned daily (not guaranteed).
14:00 UTC - Executives experience
”Executives gain their experience skills, based on their position and how long they been there.”
See the Time Table for your local time.
RETIREMENT
Executive employees would grow old and retire at some point. They grow older by 1 year every 2 days. The more they are earning, the higher chance they retire sooner. You will get a few days notice from your personal assistant (PA) before the executive actually retire.
You will also receive a notice the day the executive retires.
There will also be notification listed with the time left until retirement.
High Pay = $20,000+
Moderate Pay = $10,000 to $20,000
Low Pay = Below $10,000
