Hmmm, it seems weird that a company would have a "local applicants only" policy at all. It's not like there's a law requiring them to pay for relocation, is there?

Though I do know of companies that pay for for a new employee to move, I always thought relocation was more for when people are transferred around the country within the company. Then again, maybe a hiring company doesn't even want the question approached (whether they'd pay or not)?
