===Development===
"Help Wanted" was written by series creator [[Stephen Hillenburg]], along with [[Derek Drymon]] and [[Tim Hill]], and was directed by [[Alan Smart]].<ref name="Plot" /> Hillenburg also functioned as a storyboard director, and Drymon worked as storyboard artist.<ref name="Plot">''SpongeBob SquarePants: 10 Happiest Moments''.

Hillenburg's original idea for the pitch was that the writers would write a storyboard for a possible episode and pitch it to [[Nickelodeon]].<ref name="DrymonHA">{{cite news | author = Drymon, Derek | title = The Oral History of SpongeBob SquarePants | work = Hogan's Alley #17 | year = 2010 | accessdate = September 21, 2012|url=http://cartoonician.com/the-oral-history-of-spongebob-squarepants/|publisher=Bull Moose Publishing Corporation}}</ref> One of the original ideas was to write an episode with SpongeBob and Squidward on a road trip, inspired by the 1989 film ''{{W|Powwow Highway}}''.<ref name="DrymonHA" /> Even though the idea would later be substantially developed, Hillenburg gave up on the storyboard idea for the initial pitch.<ref name="DrymonHA" /> The crew revived the road trip idea during the first season and used many of their original ideas for the episode "[[Pizza Delivery]]."<ref name="DrymonHA" />

[[File:SB pg 50.jpg|thumb|260px|Original storyboard drawn in 1997 and was titled "SpongeBoy Ahoy!"]]

Originally the character was to be named "[[SpongeBoy]]," and the show ''SpongeBoy Ahoy!''<ref name="Radio">{{cite video |people = Farhat, Basima (Interviewer) |date = December 5, 2006 |title = Tom Kenny: Voice of SpongeBob SquarePants - Interview |url =http://www.thepeoplespeakradio.net/archives/mp3/tps-2006-12-05-kenny.mp3 |format = mp3 |medium = Radio production |publisher = The People Speak Radio |accessdate = November 8, 2008}}</ref><ref name="PittengerHA">{{cite news | author = Pittenger, Kenny | title = The Oral History of SpongeBob SquarePants | work = Hogan's Alley #17 | year = 2010 | accessdate = September 21, 2012|url=http://cartoonician.com/the-oral-history-of-spongebob-squarepants/|publisher=Bull Moose Publishing Corporation}}</ref> However, the Nickelodeon legal department discovered that the name "SpongeBoy" was already trademarked for a mop product.<ref name="Radio" /><ref name="Banks 2004, p. 31">[[#Exposed|Banks 2004]], p. 31</ref> This was discovered after voice acting for the original seven-minute pilot was recorded in 1997.<ref name="Radio" /> Upon finding this out, Hillenburg decided that the character's given name still had to contain "Sponge" so viewers would not take the character to be a block of anthropomorphic cheese. Hillenburg ultimately decided to name the character "SpongeBob." He chose "SquarePants" as a family name, as it referred to the character's square shape, and it had a "nice ring to it." Despite the early renaming, SpongeBob would be called SpongeBoy in a few episodes such as "[[Squeaky Boots]]" and "[[It's a SpongeBob Christmas!]]."<ref name="Neuwirth 2003, p. 51">[[#Exposed|Neuwirth 2003]], p. 51</ref>

In an interview with {{W|Cyma Zarghami}}, she told "their [Nickelodeon executives'] immediate reaction was to see it again, both because they liked it and it was unlike anything they had ever seen before."<ref name="Huffington">{{cite web|last=Bauder|first=David|title=SpongeBob Turns 10 Valued At $8 Billion|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/14/spongebob-turns-10-valued_n_231304.html|work=Huffington Post|accessdate=May 22, 2013|date=July 13, 2009}}</ref> Hillenburg said the character construction in the episode was loose, but the character development was already "pretty strong."<ref name="Cavna">{{cite web|last=Cavna|first=Michael|title=The Top Five 'SpongeBob' Episodes: We Pick 'Em|url=http://voices.washingtonpost.com/comic-riffs/2009/07/the_top_five_spongebob_episode.html|accessdate=May 28, 2013|date=July 14, 2009|work=The Washington Post}}</ref> Cavna rewatched the episode in 2009 and said "so much of the style and polish are already in place."<ref name="Cavna2" /><ref name="Cavna2">{{cite web|last=Cavna|first=Michael|title=The Interview: 'SpongeBob' Creator Stephen Hillenburg|url=http://voices.washingtonpost.com/comic-riffs/2009/07/_tom_kenny_who_voices.html|work=The Washington Post|accessdate=May 28, 2013|date=July 14, 2009}}</ref>

Stephen Hillenburg and Derek Drymon were having dinner and came up with the idea for "Help Wanted" based on an experience Hillenburg had in the {{W|Scouting|Boy Scouts}}.<ref name="DrymonHA" /> Hillenburg and writer Tim Hill worked it into an outline.<ref name="DrymonHA" /> In 1997, while pitching the series to Nickelodeon executives, Stephen Hillenburg donned a Hawaiian shirt, brought along an "underwater terrarium with models of the characters," and Hawaiian music to set the theme. The setup was described by Nick executive Eric Coleman as "pretty amazing."<ref name="Coleman">{{cite video | people=Coleman, Eric|date=2003|title=The Origin of SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeBob SquarePants: The Complete First Season| medium=DVD|publisher=Paramount Home Entertainment}}</ref> When given money and two weeks to write the pilot episode "Help Wanted," Hillenburg, Derek Drymon, and [[Nick Jennings]] returned with – described by Nickelodeon official Albie Hecht – "a performance [I] wish [I] had on tape."<ref name="Hecht">{{cite video | people=Hecht, Albie|date=2003|title=The Origin of SpongeBob SquarePants. SpongeBob SquarePants: The Complete First Season| medium=DVD|publisher=Paramount Home Entertainment}}</ref> Although described as stressful by executive producer Derek Drymon, the pitch went "very well;" Kevin Kay and Hecht had to step outside because they were "exhausted from laughing," making the creators worried.<ref name="Hecht" /> With help from Tim Hill and art director Nick Jennings, Hillenburg finished the pitch and sold ''SpongeBob SquarePants'' to Nickelodeon.<ref name="DrymonHA" /> Drymon said, "the network approved it—so we were ready to go."<ref name="DrymonHA" />

''SpongeBob SquarePants'' aired its first episode, "Help Wanted," along with sister episodes "[[Reef Blower]]" and "[[Tea at the Treedome]]," on {{Time|May 1}}, {{Time|1999}}, following the television airing of the {{W|1999 Kids' Choice Awards}}. The series later made its "official" debut on {{Time|July 17}}, 1999 with the second episode, "[[Bubblestand]]/[[Ripped Pants]]."<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/1999/07/11/arts/television-radio-the-tide-pool-as-talent-pool-it-had-to-happen.html</ref> This episode was re-aired on {{Time|July 24}}, 1999, along with "Reef Blower/Tea at the Treedome" to consider it official.

===Differences from the rest of the series===
The pilot episode was made and recorded in 1997, so it has many differences to the rest of the series. However, the original version of the episode had many other minor differences corrected later. For example, this and a few other early episodes have SpongeBob's bed on the right, while the rest of the series properly has it on the left; this is also the only episode where his blanket is solid blue, as opposed to purple with flowers.

Differences in voices are another example. SpongeBob's voice is slightly lower, and Patrick's voice is even deeper than the one he would have going forward. The designs and colors for characters are also different:
[[File:Help Wanted 097.png|thumb|260px|Squidward with pale cyan skin and Mr. Krabs with light red eyelids]]
*SpongeBob has fewer holes than he does in other episodes. He also looks slightly fatter, and his shoes are slightly larger. SpongeBob's walking is not accompanied by any sound effects.
*Mr. Krabs' eyelids are bright pink as opposed to the same shade of red as the rest of his body.
*Patrick's pants are a slightly different shade of green, not to mention he looks slightly chubbier.
*Squidward's complexion is paler, his laugh is different, the comedic "splat" sound is different, and his nose does not puff in and out when he laughs.
*Gary's eye pupils are red dots and his irises are smaller, and he has a higher, somewhat squeakier tone of voice in the "meow" that sounds a little closer to an actual cat's meow; [[Tom Kenny]] claims to use a new "meow" for each episode where Gary is shown meowing, and the recording of this episode was much more removed from the rest of the series than consecutive episodes, even across different seasons, are from each other, explaining the more consistent "meow" throughout the rest of the series.
*The characters' tongues have a black outline instead of red.
[[File:SpongeBob SquarePants Original Theme Clip 1997|thumb|260px|1997 Intro]]
[[File:SPONGEBOB 1997.jpg|thumb|260px]]
Miscellaneous:
*The animation used for [[bubble transitions]] is much choppier.
*Squidward appears to have rows of bamboo poles behind his house, as in the concept art.
*There is only one window in the front of SpongeBob's house. This was a feature of some other early episodes, such as "[[Boating School]]," but after 1999, it is almost always depicted with multiple windows on the front.
*Mr. Krabs' office is on the right side of the Krusty Krab as opposed to its position the left for the duration of the series. In one shot, there is nothing visually to suggest there was a door in the usual location at all. It is unknown if this is an error, or a change made later in the show's production.
*The original 1997 version uses a different intro with "[https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_associated_production_music/s#SpongeBob_Action_Theme SpongeBob Action Theme]." It plays after Patrick says, "Go SpongeBob." The more familiar intro was used when the series officially aired.
