In other words, "I'm arguing pretty strongly against this probably because I dislike such levels of 'GM vs Players', so you know where I'm coming from". Not that this is 'GM vs Players', or even a 'Play Dirty'. I just have a knee jerk instinct to go in the other direction.

Everything I've been asking here has been in a spirit of "what follows from the way the trait is defined in the rules?"

Which is how I've been answering and where I've thrown out suggestions and counter-arguments.

So I'm asking how that might work when you're trying to hire someone for a job.

That depends on an awful lot of factors. What is the job? How is she going about hiring them? Where is she advertising (ie amongst what circles)?

IE "Feared Necromancer Seeks Able Household Staff Apply Within" flyers put up in the lowlife side of town will get a radically different response than a hired agent discretely putting the word out in more wealthy areas.
