My recommendation is to simply search a good source
of programming jobs, like flipdog.com, for the entire
U.S. on the keyword "Smalltalk". "Squeak" sometimes
returns hits, too. Go to
http://www.flipdog.com/
and try it out. There are also job postings made
periodically to the comp.lang.smalltalk newsgroup.

I also recommend checking out the stuff at UIUC's
Smalltalk sites, including Professor Ralph Johnson's
Smalltalk page
http://st-www.cs.uiuc.edu/users/johnson/smalltalk/
and his page about his Smalltalk friends
http://st-www.cs.uiuc.edu/users/johnson/smalltalk/smalltalk-friends.html
John McIntosh has a site
http://www.whysmalltalk.com/findajob.htm
as does Monty Kamath
http://goodstart.com/jobs.shtml
and don't shortchange his leader page
http://goodstart.com/
either, as it has several other related and
interesting links.
The Smalltalk Industry Council has a job-finding
page accessible from their main
http://www.stic.org/
Peter William Lount also has a site
http://www.smalltalk.org/
which advertises Smalltalk consultants, specifically,
http://www.smalltalk.org/consultants.html
You can also search
http://www.scguild.com/
to find Smalltalk consultants you might ask.

If you want any other ideas, why not contact some of
the folks that are Smalltalk consultants and ask.
I know these sources because I'm an active watcher
of the IT consulting scene and know several consultants.
I don't have any experience landing Smalltalk
contracts, however, but I am well versed in IT and
database work, and have had those kinds of contracts.
I don't think this kind of thing sits well within
the Squeak list mission and would recommend a
newsgroup like comp.lang.smalltalk for discussion
or a Wiki like swiki.net or those at UIUC or
Squeak's itself. I only replied because two or
three others did and I thought I might help.
