I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at CulinaryOn (Singapore) in Apr 2019
Interview
Fast, fast, and desperate! They randomly pick people off the street and didn't even bother to consider the quality of the resume. Even if they did, in my case, they undermine later the quality of experience and even negotiate your pay their way - absolutely unethical!

Interview
They called me after I applied and asked me to come to their office the next day. It is short notice but I thought okay lets go. I arrived on time, no one at the reception. I called the recruiter she comes and sets me at the bar while there is a meeting going on with slides and all. She comes back 15 minutes later and asks me if I can come back in 30 minutes because the meeting was not planned?! I told her I am working full time and had to make arrangements to come here already, I cannot wait longer. Dont bother with this company unless you want to be treated like garbage.
- First Interview/Face to Face interview
- Trial #1: Shadowing someone to see how they did the job
- Trial #2: (Supposedly) Co-hosting with someone, but it was more like the first one again.
This couldn't be helped though, given that the second event was a large one and thus there were less opportunities.
Interview only rated as difficult given that there are 3 rounds of interview/trial, and they are very time consuming trials that take 6-12 hours.
On the work environment/events:
Staff are great though, very willing to hear you out, cares about your welfare and friendly/cooperative work environment. Some staff are terrible at their job though, with terrible micromanaging tendencies/capabilities, which was problematic as it hindered the workflow and stressed the clients unnecessary . But that was one individual vs. the rest of his very competent, friendly and great colleagues, who have demonstrated many times over that they can do their job/are good people.
Hiring HR was pleasant, communicative and willing to negotiate/keen to learn about your capabilities and interests.
Interview questions [1]
