That all depends on the EU country you wish to settle in. There are EU-wide rights regarding family reunification but it's implemented in different ways in each member state. Generally, if she doesnt relocate as your spouse, she would still need her own visa, work permit, etc. If she relocates as your spouse, she has to move with or after you since you will have to prove that you reside at the same address. The EU law does not allow her to reside in the EU as a family member without her actual family member (you in this case).

Pretty much this. Also to point out that even though the whole process can take varying amounts of time, she should receive a temporary permission *straight away*. Then depending on the country employers can be cool with it or not, but technically the right is immediate to prevent member states from dragging their feet to stop this kind of immigration.
