I am in a similar situation. And I found that it works great when the recruiters/companies feel that you really want to move and will not do any last-minute cancellation.

In my case, I was just granted a Work and Holiday kind of visa, my SO already moved and started to work. When I told recruiters that I was moving even without a job offer, the conversation was way easier and smother - and yes, I still need to get a long term work visa, but I can work while waiting.
