Hi Chris :)

Hiring a friend with a specific skill helps with the room you're about to play in. Depending on who you hire and what skill they have gives different outcomes for each room you play.

Hiring a blue star player (keeper) means that the next room you play will award you an extra 10% in XP

Hiring a coin player (accountant) means that the room you're about to play will award you with an extra 10% in coins

Hiring a green lightning bolt (joker) means that the room you're about to play will be 10% less energy

Hiring a red compass/star (ranger) means that the room you're about to play will increase your change of finding a collection item by 5%

It's akin to playing with a talisman- but for each room played! So if you're running a seeker star which increases your chance of finding collection items by 90% AND you hire a ranger you now have a 95% chance of getting the collection item for that one play which is pretty cool and is my personal favourite feature.

I like to hire someone before I play any room as it is like a free bonus just because they are my friend! Whoever is wandering around my board and then sometimes I'll hired directly from my friends list if everyone wandering around has already been hired that day.

Warm fuzzy feeling inside because of the extra bonus is purely optional but I do find it is an extra nice non-advertised effect.
