NPA, The Worldwide Recruiting Network reports that 57% of placements during the most recent 12 months involved candidate relocation. Of the total placements, 50% involved an interstate/interprovince move, 7% resulted in intercity moves, and in 43% of placements, the new hire remained in the same city. NPA tracks relocation and other data for all placements reported by its 350 member firms.
