One of the best ways to do a location specific search, for resumes of passive candidates, is to use the area code in your search string.

The Google search syntax is as follows:

Keyword (intitle:resume | inurl:resume) (State) (Area code)

For example, if you are looking for resumes of web designers in St. Louis, Missouri, the search string to use will be

Web Design (intitle:resume | inurl:resume) (Missouri) (314 | 636) -job -apply -submit

Another advantage of using this search technique is that you get resumes with phone numbers.
