# Advice to Host Employers
## Tips for getting the most out of your offer
- Before issuing a job offer, make certain that the position is definite and that the number of hours listed on the Job Offer realistically reflects the average number of weekly hours available throughout the season.
- Verify English skills via a phone or video interview.
- Consider the availability of safe, affordable, suitable, and acceptable housing and transportation.
- Housing must, at a minimum, meet all applicable local laws and regulations, including with respect to ventilation, utilities, and occupancy rates. Transportation must be reliable, affordable, and convenient between participants' residences and worksites.
- Clearly detail any housing agreement, housing deposit information or paycheck deductions on the Host Employer Application.
