Why is the hiring process in this industry so backwards. I'm moving cities and recruiters in the new city "won't consider me until I've settled and I'm local." We do have SKYPE ... f@#cking hell.

Yeah that's odd. If you're really being considered location isn't an issue. That's truly when they are most useful when you're not in the same city/country.

Relocation costs. Uncertainty of how soon you can get your shit from old city to new city and start. There's too many variables when you want someone to start quickly.

That's not entirely true

I live in the states and got a job in Toronto. A year later and I am still working remotely while going through the relocation process, which the company sponsored. So, I feel like that excuse is garbage, you dont have a position high enough to be offered relocation support (which does not appear to be the case), you aren't a good enough candidate, or the recruiters you are working with suck. To be blunt. Before this job, I had numerous interviews in cities I didn't live in and actually weren't even considering.
