Recruiting executives endure many headaches related to relocating candidates.  I recently heard of an incident in which a candidate received a moving quote from a carrier, only to move in their mother-in-laws household goods after the fact, nearly doubling the weight and cost of the load.  Another incident involved a candidate who was moving from a rural area and decided that because the company was paying for his relocation, he would go ahead and move his farm equipment with him, thus making the move twice as expensive as moving the CEO!

The only way of avoiding such catastrophes and politics of relocating employees is to have a clear and concise Relocation Policy that is properly implemented.  Whether you write the policy yourself, or hire a third party, such as Inspired Relocation Solutions, it needs to have clear guidelines to eliminate confusion about what is allowed.  This will provide consistency as well as saving time and money.  Your employees will thank you.
