Study The top 5 cities attracting the most out-of-area workersStudy The top 5 cities attracting the most out-of-area workersTurns out that people have a habit of moving to certain cities for work. In fact,recent research from Glassdoor shows that San Francisco is the city in their analysis with the most workers seeking new employment from elsewhere.Glassdoor analyzedmora than 668,000 online job applications over the course of a week in January that people started on the platform.

But in a job market where workers are in high demand and many employers are eager to hire, the employers who understand where talent is heading and what influences them to consider a move will have a recruiting advantage, Chamberlain said. Our research shows that employers should think broader when it comes to their recruiting strategies, as the quality talent they want may not only be found in their local market, but across the country.Top 5 cities in which workers are looking to leaveHere are the cities with the highest percentage of job applications seeking positions in other cities.Providence, RI 52.2%San Jose, CA 47.6%Riverside, CA 47.3%Baltimore, MD 45.6%Sacramento, CA 44.4%The research also touched on the type of people who are moving awayfor new positionsYounger workers are more likely to be metro movers. On average, the older a worker, the less likely theyre willing to move for a job. In fact, each one higher age group (which corresponds to roughly 10 years) predicts candidates will be 7 percentage points less likely to be a metro mover, the re port reads. For employers who need to hire experienced candidates from other areas, recruiters should plan to actively recruit these candidates - and be prepared to compensate more senior movers with either premium offers or have excellent workplace culture.
