What kind of relocation benefits are generally available?
This varies from client to client. The minimum you can expect is your own flight, two weeks car/scooter rental and two weeks accommodation. This is normally enough time for you to make your own permanent arrangements for transport and accommodation. Our consultants are happy to help and advise you if required. At the other end of the spectrum, some companies will offer flights for all your dependents as well as a relocation allowance, which may be on a cash or reimbursement basis. Moving allowances are often included, however, most rental accommodation is fully furnished and equipped. It is therefore inadvisable to bring anything that cannot easily be transported with you as luggage. There is no reason to bring vehicles, household appliances or furniture. It is not necessary to use a relocation allowance just because you have it. Relocation packages are normally a matter of company policy and are therefore rarely negotiable except for senior management roles.
