The number of people willing to work abroad has more than doubled over the last five years, according to a recent report from global recruiter Hydrogen Group.
The ‘Global Professionals on the Move’ report found that more than a third (35%) of candidates would be willing to work abroad, compared to 16% five years ago, while 40% of global professionals now believe there are no barriers to moving abroad.
As in previous years, English-speaking countries and cities remained the top choice for candidates, but while the US led the list of preferred countries, London was selected over New York as the top choice for relocation.
The mix of people working abroad has also changed as only 17% of people working abroad in 2014 have a professional qualification over and above a degree compared to 30% in 2010, highlighting that global mobility is no longer confined to an elite group of globe-trotting professionals.
