Our selection process

How EXTRA picks the right people

Quality at events doesn't happen by accident. It's the result of a process that goes well beyond a CV.

  • Personal intake interview

    Every candidate goes through a personal interview and assessment before working a single shift.

  • Rated after every shift

    Clients rate our staff after each event. Only those who consistently perform well stay active.

  • Presentation and attitude

    Our staff look the part and speak the language of hospitality โ€” every time.

  • Experience and work ethic

    We look beyond the CV. Service mindset, adaptability and attitude matter just as much as experience.
