Hello everyone, I’m Jey, currently interning with the Human Resource team at Bukit Vista. You might have come across my previous blog posts and articles, where I’ve shared insights about our company culture and stories from our dedicated employees. Today, I’m thrilled to take you behind the scenes of our trial program—an innovation in recruitment that has become a cornerstone of our success here in Bukit Vista.
“With initial reservations about the intensity of the trial program, I found the reality to be a nurturing and resource-rich experience. My supervisor’s guidance was instrumental from days one, offering a transparent glimpse into the Bukit Vista way of life, setting a solid foundation for my journey here.”
– Yosefine Rejeki Marpaung, HR Intern
In the heart of Bali’s bustling hospitality scene, Bukit Vista stands out, not just for our exceptional service but for our revolutionary approach to building our team. The trial program is our signature strategy, transcending the traditional interview process by immersing candidates in the tangible realities of our work environment. This initiative is a testament to our commitment to innovation, providing a dual opportunity for candidates to demonstrate their skills in real-time and for us to identify those who truly resonate with our dynamic ethos.
Our 3 Core Attributes as Our Foundation in Searching for the Perfect Candidates
At Bukit Vista, our discerning search for ideal candidates is firmly rooted in our three core attributes, which serve as the bedrock for our mission, culture, and community impact. These principles are not just words; they are the standards by which we measure the deeds and decisions of our team. We seek people who transform our core values into actual actions:
- Growth Mindset:
- This reflects a candidate’s ability to embrace challenges, learn from feedback, and continuously improve. During the trial, candidates with a growth mindset are expected to show progress, take feedback constructively, and demonstrate their adaptability by tackling unfamiliar tasks with enthusiasm. Example expected behavior is to immediately improve based received feedback and able to give feedback at the same time.
- Bias to Action:
- Candidates with a bias to action are proactive problem-solvers who take initiative without waiting for detailed instructions. In the trial, they are assessed on how quickly they jump into tasks, propose solutions, and take ownership, showing their ability to manage uncertainty and drive tasks to completion. Example expected behavior is coming up with solutions when needed, adaptable, and able to make their own adjustment.
- Self-Learner:
- A self-learner is intrinsically motivated to acquire new knowledge and skills independently. In the trial, these candidates are evaluated on their ability to research, adapt to new tools or processes, and learn quickly without needing constant guidance, demonstrating their curiosity and resourcefulness. Example expected behavior is to pro-actively asking questions if needed or being resourceful by checking previous work example.
Supervised Trial for Quality Assurance
The trial program at Bukit Vista is a crucial assessment phase, distinct from a development program. It serves as an experiential dive into the company’s operational heartbeat, providing candidates with a real taste of work life at Bukit Vista. Supervised robustly by the sub-management, candidates are expected to quickly adapt and align with the high standards of the company. The supervisors guide them through the nuances of their roles, offering critical insights and feedback.
However, it is important to clarify that the trial program is essentially a test of the candidate’s current abilities and potential to thrive in Bukit Vista’s fast-paced and quality-focused work environment. While candidates are supported and guided, the program primarily assesses their capacity to absorb information rapidly, apply skills effectively, and meet the company’s high standards right from the start. Improvement based on feedback is crucial; those who cannot demonstrate this ability are likely not to pass the trial process.
Transparent Feedback and Daily Evaluation
Transparency is a core principle of Bukit Vista’s trial program. Participants receive daily evaluations where their work output is candidly discussed. The feedback is straightforward: work is either up to standard or it’s not. This transparency ensures that candidates know exactly where they stand and what they need to improve. At the end of each days, a decision is made on whether they advance to the next stage. This daily assessment fosters a high-performance culture that is both nurturing and challenging.
The trial program at Bukit Vista is more than an assessment—it’s an experiential dive into the company’s operational heartbeat. This unique selection process offers candidates a slice of real work life within the company, providing invaluable insights into Bukit Vista’s culture, team dynamics, and work environment. Additionally, it’s important for candidates to understand that improvement based on feedback during this period is crucial. The trial not only assesses skills but also adaptability and growth potential. If a candidate is not showing improvement based on the feedback given, they are likely not to pass the trial process. This approach is as much a benefit for the prospective employee as it is for the company, ensuring the alignment of values, expectations, and capabilities from the outset.
Tailored Trial Stages for Comprehensive Evaluation
The structure of the trial is meticulously tailored to the specific roles for which candidates are applying, ensuring relevance and depth in the evaluation process. For instance, a candidate applying for an HR position might spend their first day engaged in resume screening—a fundamental task for any HR role. Subsequent days might include other scope of HR tasks, such as industrial relations and engagement and employer branding.
On the final day of the trial, candidates might find themselves crafting shift arrangements, a task that requires both strategic thinking and an understanding of operational workflows. The diversity of these tasks ensures that candidates are not only evaluated on their technical skills but also on their ability to collaborate, adapt, and contribute to the company’s ethos of hospitality excellence.
Benefits of the Trial Program
Bukit Vista’s trial program offers a multitude of benefits beyond conventional assessment methods:
-
- Realistic Job Preview: Candidates experience the actual work and company culture, reducing early turnover due to mismatched expectations.
-
- On-the-Job Learning: Applicants are given the opportunity to learn and demonstrate their adaptability and learning speed.

- Cultural Fit: It allows both parties to assess compatibility with Bukit Vista’s core values and work environment.
-
