Corporate relocation is a way people learn, grow, and gain the global perspective necessary to be senior executives in complex or global organizations. Some employees seek that opportunity and have always done so. But somehow, in the wake of the pandemic this bit of HR wisdom has been lost, and global rates of corporate relocation are dropping.
Many of the providers on our HRO Today Bakers Dozen survey of relocation services providers are struggling within this new reality, even though from the employee perspective, many young people see relocation as an opportunity or benefit of working for a larger company. A recent LinkedIn report by Mastodon Moving in 2024 showed 62% of respondents were willing to relocate for career advancement or better salary. The actual percentage in 2022 who had relocated was 1.6%.
Organizations will have to decide if future global executives will either have to relocate themselves to gain this experience by changing jobs or will they accept less skilled employees managing multi-country environments who are less sensitive to cultural issues.
Each year, HRO Today conducts the Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Survey for Relocation Services Providers. In 2025, 155 survey respondents took time from their busy schedules to provide valuable feedback to their fellow HR executives who rely each year on the Baker’s Dozen ratings as part of their partnership selection process. To help companies source the best fit for their background screening needs, HRO Today has ranked the top providers in the industry for more than a decade.
This presentation summarizes select findings from the Baker’s Dozen Customer Satisfaction Survey for Relocation Providers over the last five years. It includes service utilization, the most used services, and average deal size, along with other metrics.
