How do docs find jobs after residency?? Does the hospital where they completed residency just hire them or do they have to do a job search?? Also, if you do residency in one state, how hard is it to get a job outside of that state??

Just like any other job. Some places recruit and you can look around at other places. You can get a job anywhere in the country, although you probably have a better network in the region where you did residency.
 
Usually the PD or others now of jobs in your region. In some fields like EM there are national conferences for job searches but overall your Chair, PD and other attendings now of job openings and they are usually better than the stuff at conferences.
