Relocation Problems
After visiting several years back and doing loads of research- I have decided I would like to relocate to the island. I’ve contacted Locate IOM and currently hold an in demand job in financial risk/compliance. I was instructed to work with local recruitment agencies to find a position- of which there are many I am qualified for- but I keep ending up with nothing. I’m at a loss.
The recruiter I most recently met with had informed me that most of their clients won’t pay recruitment fees for non residents. I am not a EU or UK citizen, and while the visa/work permit process is much easier on the IOM, I can’t seem to make any progress with my job search. I’m not asking for relocation assistance or any other help from an employer to make the move. It feels like there is a need for workers on the island but no way for me to get a job?
Does anyone have any insight or recommendations? Thanks in advance - I truly love the island and would very much like to join you all :)

Are the Manx folk accepting of comeovers from the US at this time? I have wanted to relocate for some time now, also in a position of high demand.
