In order to reach the next career level, certain requirements must be met. Do an employee's skills exceed their current job? Or are they willing to relocate if necessary?
To answer the last question, the personnel experts at HR Consult Group AG conducted a candidate survey with more than 10,000 participants to find out how willing our candidates are to relocate.
The evaluation shows that two-thirds of all candidates are willing to relocate. As many as 24 percent would even be willing to move internationally. Exactly one-quarter do not want to leave Germany because of the next step in their career. Only 18 percent want to stay in their current state.
This means that if you have a position to fill that would require a candidate to relocate, your access is limited to 67 percent of all candidates.
The remaining 33 percent are not willing to relocate.
