relocation would be offered to the successful applicant


Explanation:
Meaning that the company would pay the costs of relocation for the successful applicant for this position, not merely that the appointed person would have to relocate...

I have to say that no company would "offer" relocation to a senior officer, and then expect the person to pay for it. The expression "relocation is offered" actually means that the company will foot the bill. As it were, a "negative disincentive" - after all, who moves willingly and then pays the bill? Not many, for sure....

Asker: Vielen Dank! Was mich wundert, ist das Konditional, das in "eligible" impliziert ist.
