The referral tool is intended to help employers accurately document their contact with domestic referrals and applicants, as well as with any U.S. workers they may have employed during the previous season. In addition, it is designed to assist employers in determining whether a domestic referral or applicant to their H-2A job order meets the minimum job requirements and should be hired for the position. The tool is user-friendly and consists of an instruction sheet and three forms - Interview Form, Agricultural Employment Verification Form, and Contacting Former U.S. Workers. The tool is available at:
