That's probably as much to do with different parts of the industry's expectations/requirements when it comes to on-site or off-site work.

Is RAD looking for an experienced graphics programmer / etc, by chance?

Sorry, RAD doesn't really hire in the traditional sense.

If you're looking for game development work, I can see how being stuck in St. Louis must be tough. Good luck!

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, what's different about RAD's hiring?

RAD's only ten programmers and that number stays more or less constant. The way everyone is hired is unique and inevitably somewhat odd. But it usually involves knowing Jeff or Jeff knowing of you for a long time and eventually he makes an offer when it makes sense.

That's so cool!
