Relo packages are a perk that's given out to those with a certain amount of experience. I got one last time I changed jobs, but I barely squeaked in (official policy was that it's only for candidates with 5+ years of experience, I had 4 years, they said "We'll work something out"). And I would've had to pay it back if I worked at the company for less than a year.
The vast majority of my friends did not get relo packages, because this is their first job out of school. Companies don't typically offer relo for fresh college grads.
I thought this discussion was about junior engineers?
If you can't find employees, you have to get out of the mindset of "perks" that employees are lucky to get and start offering what it takes to get what you want.
Or keep whining there's no employees.
One of these paths is more productive than the other.
