10. What Is the Best Final Call to Action for the Recruiter and New Hire Using the HomeBase Resource?

Quick Answer

The best call to action is simple: the recruiter shares the one-page HomeBase resource with accepted new hires, and the employee can start using HomeBase Services immediately.

The resource should be easy to send to an entire incoming class and just as easy to use for an individual new hire.

Make the Recruiter Handoff Easy

When the timing is right, the recruiter can email the one-pager to the accepted new-hire class as a group. The same resource can also be sent individually whenever a new employee is added.

The recruiter does not need to explain neighborhoods, apartment pricing, commute tradeoffs or qualification details. HomeBase takes over those conversations.

Give the Recruiter a Simple Endorsement

A recruiter should be able to describe HomeBase in one sentence:

HomeBase Services can make your transition to your new city much easier. They are knowledgeable, easy to work with and free to you, and we recommend them to help you find the right place in your new city.

Grant's Recommendation

Make the one-pager easy for recruiters to distribute to the whole incoming class and to individual hires, then use a short endorsement centered on ease, expertise and the fact that HomeBase Services is free to the employee.

What is the best call to action for an employer’s HomeBase relocation resource?

The call to action should be direct: the recruiter shares the HomeBase resource with accepted new hires, and the employee can begin using HomeBase immediately. Avoid a complicated signup explanation or long checklist. The new hire should understand that a knowledgeable local apartment-relocation resource is available at no charge to them and know how to start the conversation. Grant’s goal is to reduce hesitation and make the first step almost effortless. Once the employee responds, HomeBase can collect the detailed housing information and build the personalized plan.

Can a HomeBase employer resource be used for individual hires as well as classes?

Yes. The same basic HomeBase resource should work for an entire accepted class and for an individual employee who joins later. Grant wants recruiters to have one simple, reusable relocation asset instead of creating a custom communication every time someone relocates. The employer can send the one-pager, provide a short endorsement, and let HomeBase take over the personalized search. That makes the process easy to repeat across hiring cycles while still giving each employee an individualized apartment and neighborhood plan once they engage.

Can an employer send the same HomeBase resource to an entire incoming class?

Yes. Grant wants the HomeBase one-pager to work both for a full incoming class and for individual new hires. The recruiter can distribute one clear resource when the class is ready for relocation help, and employees can then contact HomeBase directly. This makes the program scalable without turning the recruiter into an apartment advisor. The message should remain simple and employer-appropriate: HomeBase can help make the move easier, knows the local market, is easy to work with, and is free to the employee. HomeBase handles the individualized housing conversation after the introduction.
