There are three ways to hire: let us propose a team for the work you do, pick roles from the gallery, or describe a role in your own words. Every employee arrives with a name, a portrait, instructions written for the job, and ideas for what to ask first. You can change all of it later. > [!NOTE] > > The Free plan includes one employee. Paid plans include more, and their employees can work together in group chats. See [Limits and usage](https://easy-peasy.ai/docs/ai-employees/limits-and-usage.md#how-many-employees-you-can-have). ## Hire a team The first time you open **AI Employees**, it walks you through hiring a team. **1. Tell us what you do** Pick all the kinds of work that apply, such as **Founder / CEO**, **Marketing & growth**, **Customer support & success**, or **E-commerce**. If none fits, describe it under **Something else**, for example "I run a small perfume brand and sell to boutiques". **2. Add your website (optional)** Enter your website, and your team reads it to learn about your business. What they learn goes into your [company profile](https://easy-peasy.ai/docs/ai-employees/company-profile.md), where you can check it. **3. Meet your team** Click **Build my team**. We propose a team of up to seven, led by **Atlas**, the Chief of Staff. Untick anyone you don't need, and rename their group chat if you like. On paid plans, you can switch the whole team to **Best quality** here. See [Quality](https://easy-peasy.ai/docs/ai-employees/profile.md#quality). **4. Hire them** Click **Hire**, for example **Hire 5 employees**. In a few seconds the team is ready, in a group chat that Atlas leads, named **Team** unless you renamed it. Atlas says hello there, and a **Meet your team** card introduces everyone. Ask for anything there and the right people pick it up. On the Free plan, you pick one employee from the proposed team to start with. When the team is ready, you can open the group chat, check what they learned in the company profile, or connect apps like Gmail or Google Calendar first. ## Hire from the gallery Once you have an employee, **+** > **Hire employees** opens the gallery of ready-made roles. Filter by **Leadership & planning**, **Marketing & content**, **Sales & customers**, **Research & data**, or **Finance & people**, or search, for example "invoices" or "TikTok". Roles you already hired show **On your team**. ![Hire AI employees: a search box, the role filters, and cards for Atlas, Maya, Leo, Nova, Aria and Iris, four of them marked On your team](https://mintcdn.com/easy-peasyai/n4m2_eaKJOfCT0eD/images/ai-employees/hire-gallery.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=n4m2_eaKJOfCT0eD\&q=85\&s=8167c139f2fbf4172bc75615ac3059ab) | Role | Name in the gallery | | - | - | | Chief of Staff | Atlas | | Customer Support Rep | Maya | | Marketing Content Creator | Leo | | Business Analyst | Nova | | Executive Assistant | Aria | | SEO Content Writer | Iris | | Research Analyst | Sam | | Social Media Manager | Zoe | | Email Marketing Specialist | Ella | | Sales Development Rep | Max | | Customer Success Manager | Cora | | Product Manager | Priya | | Project Manager | Owen | | Data Analyst | Dana | | Finance Assistant | Felix | | Recruiter | Ravi | | Graphic Designer | Mira | | Video Producer | Kai | | Localization Specialist | Lina | ### Hire one role Click **Hire** on a role's card. On the next screen, check the employee before you hire: * The name, the role title, and a one-line tagline that teammates see. * The look: a portrait or an emoji, and an accent color. * **Quality**: **Standard** or **Best quality**. See [Quality](https://easy-peasy.ai/docs/ai-employees/profile.md#quality). * **Routines**: work the role usually does on its own, such as a daily business brief. They're ticked, so untick the ones you don't want. They run on a schedule in your time zone. See [Routines](https://easy-peasy.ai/docs/ai-employees/routines.md). * **Advanced setup**: the instructions, and under **Knowledge**, whether the employee gets its own knowledge base or uses one of your [agents'](https://easy-peasy.ai/docs/agents/knowledge.md). Good defaults are already set. ![Aria's setup screen: Quality with Standard selected and Best quality, Routines with Morning inbox & agenda ticked, Advanced setup, and the Hire Aria button](https://mintcdn.com/easy-peasyai/n4m2_eaKJOfCT0eD/images/ai-employees/hire-setup.webp?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=n4m2_eaKJOfCT0eD\&q=85\&s=f5b3bab00254a75ff93ca8f7adcf4749) Click **Hire**, and the setup screen opens. Connect the apps the employee works with, or add its knowledge, then click **Start working with** and the employee's name. You can do both later in its workspace. ### Hire several at once Tick the checkbox on each role you want, then choose where they go in the bar at the bottom: a new group chat, an existing group chat, or **No group chat**. Click **Hire**. If your plan doesn't have room for all of them, the ones that fit are hired and you see which didn't. ## Describe your own role Click **Describe your own** in the gallery, or on the first onboarding screen. **1. Describe the role** Write what the employee should take off your plate, in a sentence or two. For example: "Answer questions from boutiques that stock Aurela and send them our price list." **2. Draft it** Click **Draft with AI**. We draft a name, a role title, a portrait, and structured instructions. Click **Draft again** for another version, or edit anything. **3. Hire** Check the instructions under **Advanced setup**, then click **Hire**. ## After you hire * Every employee gets a [direct message](https://easy-peasy.ai/docs/ai-employees/direct-messages.md) with ideas for a first task. * If a name is already taken on your team, the new employee gets a number, such as "Nova 2". Rename it in its [Profile](https://easy-peasy.ai/docs/ai-employees/profile.md). * Give it the apps and knowledge it needs: [Apps](https://easy-peasy.ai/docs/ai-employees/apps.md), [Knowledge, memory, and skills](https://easy-peasy.ai/docs/ai-employees/knowledge-memory-skills.md). > [accordion] I can't hire another employee > > You reached your plan's number of employees. The **+** menu shows **Plan limit reached** with the number. Delete an employee in its [Profile](https://easy-peasy.ai/docs/ai-employees/profile.md#delete-an-employee), or upgrade on the [pricing page](https://easy-peasy.ai/pricing). > [accordion] Can I change a role after hiring? > > Yes. Rename the employee, change its portrait, instructions, quality, apps, and knowledge at any time. You can also ask it in a chat to update its own profile, for example "From now on, sign your emails as Maya from Aurela". > [card] [Work with an employee](https://easy-peasy.ai/docs/ai-employees/direct-messages.md) > > Give your new employee its first task. > [card] [Company profile](https://easy-peasy.ai/docs/ai-employees/company-profile.md) > > Tell every employee about your business.
