Out-of-town candidates face extra skepticism. Are you really moving? Will you back out? We help you signal serious intent and overcome location bias in your job search.
New City, New Start
Hiring an out-of-town candidate feels risky. We address their concerns before they become rejections.
Your resume and cover letter need to address the elephant in the room — directly but strategically.
Don't hide your location — address it. Your cover letter explains why you're moving and signals commitment. Transparency builds trust.
Do you have family there? Previous experience in that market? Any tie to the location helps. We highlight whatever connections exist.
Make it easy to hire you. We address relocation timing, interview availability, and flexibility to ease employer concerns.
To position your relocation effectively, we need to understand your situation, timeline, and any connections to your target location.
For relocations, your cover letter does heavy lifting. It explains why you're moving, demonstrates commitment, and removes concerns before they become rejections. This is where you make your case.
Schedule Your InterviewWe tailor our approach based on your specific situation.
Moving from coast to coast within the same country. We emphasize your commitment and flexibility, and use any connections to the new region.
Moving to a new country. Work authorization is key — we highlight your visa status or citizenship. Cultural fit matters too.
Coming back after years away. This is the easiest story to tell — you're going home. We leverage your roots and local network.
If you have a legitimate connection (family, friend's address where you could stay), yes. If not, don't fake it — address the relocation directly instead.
Both. A brief note in your resume header ("Relocating to Austin, TX — March 2026") plus fuller explanation in your cover letter.
That uncertainty can hurt you. Employers want committed candidates. We'll discuss how to frame your timeline to signal commitment while maintaining flexibility.
Start applying 2-3 months before your move. Waiting until you arrive means you're unemployed and job searching — not ideal.
If the role is remote, location matters less. But if you're applying for hybrid or on-site roles from out of town, relocation positioning is essential.
Yes. We can address work authorization, visa status, and cross-cultural positioning. International moves require extra care in messaging.
Don't let location bias stop you. Let's create a resume that gets you interviews wherever you're headed.
