Ran an "Internet Ad" and got 4 Level 1 Staff?

[Softload3r]

Is this a bug or did I do something wrong?
The description says "at level MUCH higher than current cooksta rating."

And all 4 applicants it found are Lvl 1 and trash. Way worse than what I have now since day 1 - just spent 400 for nothing.. ?

Staff as far as i know always start at level 1
so of course your say level 7 guys are gonna be better
but each person has their own set of skills and some get more stats per level

There are staff only available to bronze/silver/gold/diamond rankings ect.

Internet add allows you to pull from higher tiers.

But shouldn't they be higher than Level 1 when I use internet Add?
What's the point of using Internet Add if they are level 1 and the ones from the other Ads are also level1?

The better ones might have better lvl 20 stats or skills.

It's important to inspect them before hiring to see what they will be at higher level. Every tier has some decent hires but the higher tiers have more and better ones.

before you hire look at "details" on the staff, it will show you their max level stats and skills.

The "special" staff are vastly better (either mechanically, comedically or usually both) than the regular staff you can get at the start.

"at level MUCH higher than current cooksta rating."

It should really say rank instead of level.
Everyone starts at level 1, but not everyone is the same rank. Certain employees only become available once you hit a certain Cooksta rank, or use higher-tier hiring ads to get those employees earlier.
Higher ranked employees will have better skills, and will earn more stats with level ups.
When hiring, click on a potential new hire and select "Details", this will show you what their skills are and what their max stats will look like.
