A typical EMEA senior relocation package covers removal, temporary accommodation, and family support, usually €10K to €30K.
Definition
A relocation package is the financial and logistical support an employer provides to a candidate who needs to move location to take up a role. Packages range from a flat one-off payment to comprehensive programmes covering removal costs, temporary accommodation, school fees, spouse job search support, and housing allowances.
What this means when you're hiring
Relocation is one of the most common offer-stage blockers in EMEA manufacturing recruitment. A strong candidate in Munich who's open to a Basel-based role will often stall at offer stage when they see what it actually costs to move a family. Companies that front-load relocation investment at offer stage close candidates faster and with less attrition. A typical EMEA senior relocation package runs €10K to €30K; for executive moves with family, it can reach €60K.
