Introducing Virtual Staff Interview

Homadorma has been conducting on site interview with homestay host for almost 10 years. We are dedicated to creating a safe environment for our students, and combat fraud in the home rental marketplace.

The widespread of Covid-19 posted significant challenges on our staff interview procedure. Sending our staff to the host family poses a health threat to the host families, the community, and our staff. As a result, we have decided to suspend the face to face staff interview, and replace it with virtual staff interview.

Things changed

• We no longer send our staff to meet the host in person. The procedure has been shifted to video interview via Zoom.
• Instead of sending our staff to take photos of the property, we have posted specific instructions to help the host take qualify photos themselves.
• Staff interviews are now open to hosts across Canada. Thanks to the format of video meeting, we are no longer restricted to a handful of major cities in Canada.

Things not changed

• Hosts without staff interview can only send 5 messages to students. We encourage hosts to complete staff interview in order to communicate with students.
• Staff interviews remain free for properties that have never been interviewed by our staff.
• During the staff interview, we still verify the ID of the host for safety purposes.
