Speaking about the study and the mobility of talent around the world, David Overmars, career and resume expert at Jobseeker comments: “Moving away from a hometown or country to pursue a career opportunity is a significant moment in a job seeker’s life. There are various reasons why someone makes the momentous decision to take that leap. It could be to chase a dream job, gain a sense of independence, itch a sense of adventure, or simply create an environment where the cost of living feels more manageable and obtain a stronger work-life balance. Job seekers also often move away from their hometown to a location where their skillset is highly valued. Despite the concept of asynchronous or remote working being more commonplace in people’s professional lives, job seekers are still moving to find new roles. Location remains an essential factor, both in embracing a specific sector such as tech or healthcare and establishing a healthy work-life balance. The global job market has never been more accessible, with people now embracing a desire to travel when it comes to finding their ideal career. In the coming years, we’re expecting to see more people considering relocation to other countries when making their next career move.”
