      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HMSHost (San Antonio, TX)

      Basic process. One face to face interview with standard situational questions. As long as you pass the background check they hire you. High turnover job due to weak management controls.

      Bartender Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Atlanta, GA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at HMSHost (Atlanta, GA) in Nov 2022

      Interview

      I arrived 4:10pm to my 4:30-5pm interview at the Chophouse. The staff was confused where the interview was to take place. The restaurant had tables dirty and staff just socializing not focus on the patrons and their needs. Finally a manager directed me to the third flood where the interview area. I interviewed with an African American man that was very distracted with everything else going on the airport. He was uninterested in the interview process. He asked me what position I was looking for, and I said Bartender. He then informed me that all Bartender positions were filled and they were looking for cashiers. I have been bartending for over 20 years and decline his offer. It was the worst interview I’ve ever had and if I knew they were not looking for bartenders I would not even apply to this company. It is very poorly run and I can see why they just looking for warm bodies not skilled workers.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at HMSHost (Richmond, BC) in Sep 2017

      Interview

      Recommended by a friend. Had one interview, 3 days of training. Training wasn’t done by bartenders and left a lot to be desired. No one seemed to know what they were doing, including management.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at HMSHost (Little Rock, AR) in Jul 2017

      Interview

      Got a call after about a month, he screened me on the phone, told me about the restaurant and asked me about my life. He then invited me to an on-site interview. It was short and standard. He didn't read off of a sheet and wasn't monotone or boring. It was a real, engaging conversation. I felt like he cared about what I was saying, and didn't feel the need to lie. I was very comfortable. John gave the best interview I've ever participated in because he was to the point, and aimed to get to know me as a person. You know if you get a good vibe off someone within 5 minutes, and I hate the droning interviews most companies conduct.
