had an easy test for screening purpose. It was about the background of the applicants, where they live, and what their main profession is. I think this is because the jobs aren't really demanding hard level competencies.

Group Presentation Behavioral Other
You apply online and then get invited to a group interview at their main office. It involved a presentation given to a group of around 10-15 people about what it would be like working at Host, what the expectations were and how it worked. We were then asked to show we could carry several plates at a time but this was presented more as practicing than a test. Then we were showed how to set up a table for silver service. At the end there was a brief, causal chat with one of the staff members, mainly about past experience and why you wanted to work there and what your general availability would be. That was it.
