International Recruitment Processes and Candidate Relocation during COVID-19

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to define how recruitment and candidate relocation processes are formed, and how has Covid-19 affected them. The paper starts from the beginning of the recruitment process where the need of expertise is identified, and follows the process to the point where candidate has been onboarded to the new position. A semi-structured research is supporting the literature based research, and Herzberg’s two factor theory explains motivators behind job satisfaction, and why someone would like to change jobs. Candidate experience and trends of recruitment during the pandemic are also discussed.
