You can, and in most cases definitely should, hire club staff. You can either hire scouting agency to find them for you or you can hire them (if they are available) through staff market. Due to our basic rule of uncertainty their skills are not known to you, the only thing that indicates how good they could be are the certificates. There are Level 1 certificates, which suggest that this employee have at least all the basics covered, and there are Level 2 certificates, which suggest that he has some skills and experience. People with no certificates are enigma, they could be complete amateurs, but they also could have great talent in their field, the only way to learn it is by hiring them.
Why does it work that way in Football-o-Rama? Actually it is partly based on business theory of incompetence - for example if you go to the doctor and he treats your illness you assume that he is competent. You can only discover that he isn't by going to different doctor and finding out that actually there is a better or safer way to treat your illness. But in that theory the first doctor will still be sure he is fully competent, because no one yet proved him wrong. Same rules apply to your staff - they provide you with the best support they can give, but you can't be sure how competent they actually are until you find your new staff member to be better than the old one was.
Once you hire an employee he does not start his work the same day, he will arrive at your club on nearest Monday and then start his job. However there is also induction period - after new employee joins your club he will need some time to adapt to his workplace, so in first few weeks he will not work usig his full skills level.
