What Is an Entry Level Relocation Assistance and How to Become One

By ZipRecruiter Marketplace Research Team

Entry-level relocation assistance jobs include two separate job categories. One category is entry-level jobs where the employer pays for relocation assistance. For example, when you complete a graduate degree and move to work for a tech company, the company may pay for you to relocate to a different state or city. Other entry-level relocation assistance jobs are human resources positions that have job duties transferring new or current employees to a different location. You communicate with the new employee to determine what kind of moving services they need and contract with the appropriate vendors and service providers. You may be responsible for a specific territory or part of the country.

The qualifications to get an entry-level relocation assistance job vary, depending on which type of job you seek. Human resources representatives typically you need a bachelor's degree in Human Resources, social work, business administration, or a closely related field. You need to have strong multitasking skills, close attention to detail, and excellent interpersonal communication. Experience with coordinating moves or travel is helpful. Obtaining entry-level positions that offer relocation assistance depends on the industry and company, but they are typically larger companies that are willing to pay all or part of the moving fees for new employees. The relocation assistance costs are sometimes negotiated into the contract once you have been offered a position.
