It seems an overwhelming number of Brits won’t move abroad until they have a job lined up in their new country.
Latest research by the Office for National Statistics reveals that 40% of British expats chose to leave the UK only if there was a guaranteed job waiting for them – compared to 16% who were looking for work.
This is great news for international recruiters and other expat marketers, as it pinpoints Brits who haven’t yet left the country as a massive target market.
