What information should a recruiter collect when a new hire accepts an offer?

Quick answer

Keep the relocation referral simple. HomeBase likes to have the new graduate’s name, email address, and phone number when practical, but the recruiter does not need to collect a long apartment-preference survey. Two especially valuable employment facts are the exact office address and the employee’s in-office or hybrid schedule because those can materially change the neighborhood shortlist. The job start date is also important for building the relocation timeline. HomeBase can collect budget, apartment style, neighborhood preferences, roommate needs, and other personal housing details directly from the employee after the introduction.
