Each sleuth theoretically gives you a 10% greater chance of finding an item. Not necessarily the item you are looking for, but at least something. 5 x 10% should be a 50% greater chance. And I think your friend you hired gets a little 'thank you' in the form of coins or experience. That's the ca-ching noise you might hear when you first open your game. I'm not sure if this is still happening, but I think so.
