What exactly does a stand hostess do at the fairground?
Your main duty is to represent the brand in the best way possible. Greeting visitors with a smile, handing out brochures, basic catering service (coffee/water), collecting business cards, and directing them to the relevant sales representative are your main tasks.
Is it necessary to know English or another foreign language?
It is not mandatory, but knowing a Foreign Language (English, Russian, Arabic, German) gives you a great advantage. Staff who speak languages are categorized as "Translator Hostesses" and their daily rates are higher than standard hostesses.
What kind of photos should I upload to the application form?
Professional studio photos are not required. It is sufficient to upload photos taken in a bright environment where your face is clearly visible (smiling) and showing your full body (preferably in smart casual attire). Please do not use filtered (Snapchat/Instagram) photos.
Who provides the outfits to be worn while working?
Usually, the employer company provides a specially designed dress or suit (jacket-skirt/trousers). If the company does not provide an outfit, standard "Black Trousers/Skirt, White Shirt, and Black Heels" (Business Casual) is requested.
What are the height and physical requirements to be a hostess?
Runway model measurements are not required for fair hostesses, but being "Presentable" (well-groomed and smiling) is essential. Generally, a minimum height of 1.65 cm is preferred for Stand Hostesses, and 1.70 cm for Welcome Models. The most important criteria are proper diction and communication skills.
Do I need to pay a registration fee to apply?
No, Hostes Ajansı never charges any fees for applications. We do not demand payments for registration, photo shoots, or administrative costs. We are a corporate event agency that earns only when our staff is working and earning.
How much are the rates and when are payments made?
Daily rates vary depending on the nature of the project, working hours, and your language skills. Payments are usually deposited into your bank account within the week following the end of the fair/event or on a specific date set per project.
Are job opportunities only available in Istanbul?
Although our headquarters is in Istanbul, we also create teams for fairs in cities like Ankara, Izmir, and Antalya. For out-of-town projects, travel, accommodation, and meal expenses are usually covered by our agency or the client.
I have never worked at a fair before, can I apply without experience?
Yes, you can. As Hostes Ajansı, we love bringing new faces to the industry. If you are hired, you will be given a short job and task briefing by our project supervisors before you start working.
How does the process work after filling out the form?
Your application is saved in our database (CRM). When there is a project suitable for your profile (Fair, Congress, Launch), our Casting department contacts you via WhatsApp or phone, providing details of the job and the rate. If you accept, you are added to the team.
