New Landlord Screening Potential Tenants

Hello BP family. I am looking for some advice. I am a new landlord who is house hacking a duplex. I am screening potential tents to move into the vacant unit. I have an offer that seems enticing and would like some guidance. 

The potential tenants are moving from another state to Florida for a new job. They are offering to pay 3 months in advance in addition to security and last months rent.  I would like to ensure their ability to pay the rent once the pre-paid rent period is complete, how should I go about verifying their new employment and income for their new jobs?
