Strangely, I've never been hit up by a recruiter from Smallville. Though it's about 3/week for the city. I've worked as a carpenter for many years in both Smallville and ?Largeville? I never had a LinkedIn, or a resume online.
I feel like I worked with a lot of competent people with no options because in both locations, if you want a skilled labor job, you go in person to the office at 730 in the morning before the crew bosses leave for work.
This doesn't work if you live in another city or town. There's some Craigslist/ad in the paper but since that usually confined to a town or region that can be limited.
It's predominantly a employer's market with the employee reaching out to the employer, where we in tech in the city are mostly used to an employees market where the reverse is true. (Though all the jobs I've had, I've found myself and reached out to the employer)
Also, in a world where you are expected to change jobs for a raise or advancement, having options and access to other employment options is a big deal. In these two ways, the Smallville job market is underserved.
