And yeah, while you choose who hires you, they can easily suit their own needs and screw you in the process. Knowing towns you'll probably get lynched on sight, seeing that you are a killer. A townie who you side with can get you to kill the unrevealed mayor, and you can't do crap about it. A Serial Killer can keep abusing you before eventually just disposing of you late in the game.' 'And if you don't cooperate with them you'll just get hung or killed at night. It's a role designed to be on anyone's side, but I think it's on nobody's side. You can only request to hire the Specialist once. This, in turn, means that you can only hire the Specialist once.

+ he could be a massive benefit to a sheriff or a member of the town who knows who the mafia is but can't get the town to listen. If he could pull out a Specialist, the game would be infinitely more interesting.
