Totaljobs.com, The Network and Intelligence Group launch the largest research on international labour market mobility ever conducted. This comprehensive study runs across 40 participating Network countries spread over all continents of the World. Over 50,000 jobseekers are expected to participate in this research. The results will be used to uncover how international mobility across the world labour market can be increased and influenced, what motivates people to choose countries, cities and international careers in general. Full results are expected towards the end of the year.

Bringing Work to People, Bringing People to Work
The study will yield in-depth insights in to the migration of employees, both on a national and international level. Employers who are considering expanding or relocating to another county will be able to adapt their labour market strategy on the basis of this study (bringing work to people). The most important aspect of this study, which will be of large interest to most international companies, is ëbringing people to workí; ìHow can employers reach and move labour market potential in one country to apply, work and move to another country?î Within-country differences will be rigorously investigated. In addition, as the survey will include 16 out of the 27 member states of the European Union; powerful data will become available about the interest of different European citizens to relocate within the borders of the (integrated) European labour market.

Sequel to the International Recruitment Manual
In 2006, The Network and Intelligence Group rounded off the first study on international mobility. This, at the time, became a very influential European research and provided clear insights into various occupational groups. It was found that these groups had different motives in choosing specific international employers or countries. The 2006 study was conducted among 21,000 employees in eight countries. The questionnaire that is used in the 2009 survey has been formed on the basis of the results of this original study. The largest differences with regard to the 2006 study are that there are five times more countries participating (which will provide a larger sample), more focus on the importance of city over country and that this study, naturally, incorporates the latest economic developments.
