Why should a recruiter tell HomeBase how many days a new hire works in the office?

Quick answer

Office frequency can change the housing recommendation as much as the office address. Someone commuting five days a week may need a tighter geographic search, while an employee going in once or twice a week can often prioritize a stronger social neighborhood even if the occasional commute is longer. That matters especially for recent graduates who are building a new network outside work. HomeBase uses the schedule to decide how much weight commute should carry in the final apartment choice. Without it, a renter may be pushed unnecessarily close to the office or, in the opposite direction, into a commute that becomes exhausting.
