Local search strategy
Search beyond one title or city
Use related titles, neighboring communities and remote or hybrid terms. Review each posting for work-location requirements because statewide service does not always mean the position can be performed anywhere in Kentucky.
For employers
Name the city or service region, workplace expectations, travel, compensation and the communities the role supports. Clear geography helps candidates understand whether the opportunity is realistic.
