Work somewhere unhurried
A small studio in Kuala Lumpur that hires slowly, trains properly, and does not ask anyone to sell.
- Realistic timings between guests
- No sales targets
What working here is like
We are honest about the trade-off. NOMAD is small, so there is no large team to hide inside and no separate department to hand a problem to. In return, the day is built at a pace a person can actually keep.
No sales targets
Nobody here is measured on what they sell or on upgrades taken at the end of a session. If the right recommendation is the smaller one, that is the recommendation we want you to make. This is the single thing that most changes how a room feels, and it is not negotiable.
The shape of a day
Bookings are spaced so the room can be reset properly and so a session that needs an extra ten minutes can have them. Breaks are real. Closing time is a time, not an aspiration.
Training
You will not be put in front of a guest with a service or a device you have not been trained and signed off on. Supplier training is arranged during work hours, not on your own time, and new protocols are practised within the team before they ever appear on the menu.
The roles we hire for
Broadly three: people who work on guests, front of house, and occasional part-time support during busier seasons. We also take on apprentices from time to time — people early in their training who want to learn properly rather than quickly. Openings are listed by the studio; when nothing is listed, the note below still applies.
How to write to us
Send a short note through the contact page: what you do now, what you would like to be doing, and when you are free. A plain email is fine — we are reading for care and clarity, not for a designed CV. If there is a fit, the next step is a conversation, then a paid trial day in the studio so both sides can see how it actually feels.
Before you apply
Questions we are asked by applicants
No. We train on our own protocols regardless of background. What is harder to teach is a steady hand and the willingness to tell a guest that today is not the day for something.
Yes, and it is often the better time. We keep notes and write back when something opens. A short, specific note is remembered far longer than a long general one.
A normal working day alongside the team, paid. You will see how the room runs and we will see how you work — both of which matter more than an interview answer.
Sometimes, particularly for front of house and during busier seasons. Say what you are looking for in your note rather than waiting to be asked.

A few honest paragraphs are worth more here than a polished application. We read everything that arrives.
