Grant’s direct answer
A recruiter only needs to give HomeBase the new hire’s name, email address, phone number, destination city, and anticipated start date or start month. HomeBase can then contact the new hire directly, explain the best areas, answer relocation questions, and guide the apartment search. Recruiters can also use HomeBase’s prepared email-blast format to introduce the service to incoming employees. Referrals should be sent as soon as the hire accepts—even nine months before the start date—so HomeBase can make the transition smoother and reduce the relocation questions handled by the recruiting team.
Explore related apartment guides and city and neighborhood information. Rental prices, availability, office locations and incentives can change; confirm time-sensitive details before making a decision.
