Nice piece of how companies have reduced their relocation programs and are hiring locally only basically.
Some 58% of companies have reduced their corporate relocation programs, 27% have frozen such programs, and another 17% have eliminated them entirely, according to an October 2009 Society of Human Resource Management poll of 371 people. "Companies want to pay less—not more—in acquiring new talent," says Ms. Keene. She says many of her clients have asked her to search for candidates locally, instead of nationally, particularly in large metropolitan areas.
In some markets—like New York City–being local is critical for entry-level or junior-level positions in some fields.
Another reason why it is SO CRUCIAL to attend a program near/in a financial hub.
