Global Talent Barometer

Latest research highlights the changing global recruitment marketplace

• Almost half of all international jobseekers would consider moving to the UK - second only to the US in terms of popularity
• The opportunity to broaden one's experience is the most cited reason to work overseas, but jobseekers from the UK are more likely than the global average to work overseas for a better quality of life and to start a new life
