HR Simulator: Hire, Fire, Inspire


HR Simulator, developed by Animesme & Sangnila, gives players the chance to step into the challenging yet rewarding world of human resources. You start from the ground floor, gradually climbing the corporate ladder while balancing professional demands with personal life. This journey is not just about numbers and targets, but also about choices, instincts, and how you manage the people around you.

Mastering Interviews

Interviews are the heart of your role, and every session tests your skills as an HR professional. You pay close attention to candidates, listening carefully to their answers while cross-checking the details on their CVs. The process demands focus, precision, and the ability to catch small details that others might miss.

Asking the right questions plays a huge role in uncovering a candidate’s true potential. Reading between the lines is just as important as listening to what is said. One wrong decision could mean overlooking talent or hiring the wrong person, making every choice matter.

Sometimes, instincts guide you more than facts. Trusting your judgment becomes part of the strategy, turning simple interviews into engaging challenges. These moments reflect the reality of HR work, where people are more than numbers and every decision shapes the workplace.

The Pressure to Perform

Your boss expects results, and productivity points are your main objective. Each day is a race to meet the required target, pushing you to make careful plans. Budget management plays a critical role, as every decision impacts how you achieve those numbers.

Balancing expenses while ensuring efficiency makes this system more than just clicking through menus. It requires strategy, foresight, and the ability to adapt when things don’t go as planned. This challenge keeps the gameplay loop engaging and rewarding.

Tough Calls

One of the hardest parts of HR is letting people go, and HR Simulator doesn’t shy away from that reality. Firing isn’t just an option but it can be a necessity to meet company targets and keep the business moving forward. But be careful: make the wrong calls too often, and you could end up getting fired yourself instead of your employees.

Each decision carries consequences. Choosing to dismiss someone impacts not only the company’s performance but also the morale of the remaining team. It pushes you to think carefully about whether the short-term numbers are worth the long-term cost.

Growing Talent

Firing is not always the answer, and in HR Simulator you can take a different approach by training employees. This path gives your team the chance to grow, sharpen their skills, and contribute more effectively to the company. With time and patience, even underperforming staff can become valuable assets.

Investing resources into training creates long-term benefits that outweigh short-term cuts. Rather than constantly replacing workers, you build a stronger and more reliable team that continues to improve over time. It is a strategy that rewards foresight and careful planning.

This mechanic reflects a real-world HR philosophy: people are not just numbers on a chart. With the right support, they can develop and thrive. Training transforms the game from a numbers-driven simulator into an experience about nurturing talent and building a workplace that lasts.

Life Beyond Work

HR Simulator doesn’t stop at the office. After a full day of tough calls and meeting company goals, you return home where the focus shifts to rest and recovery. Whether it’s spending time with your cat, reconnecting with family, or simply relaxing, these moments help restore the energy you’ll need for the next day.

These quiet breaks bring a sense of balance to the game. They remind players that even in a fast-paced career, self-care cannot be ignored. Without taking time to recharge, the weight of daily decisions can quickly become overwhelming. Maintaining your mood becomes part of the strategy, making personal balance just as important as professional success.

Diverse Workplaces

On the desk are stacks of papers, a pen, a coffee mug, a laptop, and “Approve” and “Reject” stamps.
Even supernaturals can apply

A successful workplace is shaped by different personalities, and HR Simulator captures this perfectly. Throughout your journey, you will encounter a wide range of employees, each bringing unique traits, strengths, and challenges. Every individual plays a role in shaping the office dynamic.

To make things even more engaging, the game includes a compendium where you can collect and learn about every employee type you meet. This mechanic transforms simple management into a fun discovery process, as you gradually understand how each personality contributes to the bigger picture.

The result is variety and replayability. No two offices feel alike, and the constant introduction of new employees keeps the experience fresh. For completionists, the compendium adds an extra layer of motivation, while casual players can enjoy building a diverse and lively workplace.
